verse 1: 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
You see her sitting with her coffee and her paper 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
With her high top sneakers of Italian design 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                   Ab6    
With a long cool stare she aggravates the tension 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                     C       
Makes up her face while she makes up her mind 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
Now you're in trouble, maybe she's an intellectual 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
What if she figures out you're not very smart 
      Bb                        Ab6                     Bb              Ab6    
Or maybe she's the quiet type who's into heavy metal 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb     
Boy, you got to get it settled, cause she's breaking your heart 


[Refrão]

C                                     Dm11   
Don't try to put on an act 
         Am7         Bb      F/A            Gm7     Bb/F      C/E     
You can't do that to a modern woman 
C                                     Dm11   
And you're an old fashioned man 
         Am7         Bb      F/A            Gm7     F     
She understands the things you're doin' 
Eb   
She's a modern woman

F                  Eb6             F                    Eb6   
She looks sleek and she seems so professional 
F                           Eb6                     F         F13/A   
She's got a lot of confidence, it's easy to see 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                   Ab6    
You want to make a move but you feel so inferior 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                     C       
Cause under that exterior is someone who's free 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
She's got style and she's got her own money 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
So she's not another honey you can quickly disarm 
      Bb           Ab6         Bb              Ab6    
She's got the eyes that make you realize 
Bb                             Ab6                Bb       
She won't be hypnotized by your usual charm

C                                     Dm11   
You've got your plan of attack 
         Am7         Bb      F/A            Gm7     Bb/F      C/E     
That won't attract the modern woman 
C                                     Dm11   
When you're an old fashioned man 
         Am7         Bb      F/A            Gm7     F     
She understands the things you're doin'

F                  Eb6             F                    Eb6   
Time goes by and you're sharing an apartment 
F                           Eb6                     F         F13/A   
She says she loves you but she doesn't know why 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                   Ab6    
In the morning she leaves you with your coffee and your paper 
Bb                        Ab6           Bb                     C       
It's a strange situation for an old fashioned guy 
F                  Eb6                      F                       Eb6   
But times have changed things are not the same, baby 
F                  Eb6                    F                  F13/A   
You overcame such a bad attitude 
                  Bb                       Ab6                      Bb                   Ab6    
Rock and roll just used to be for kicks and nowadays it's politics 
Bb                             Ab6                Bb       
And after 1986 what else could be new

         Am7         Bb      F/A            Gm7     Bb/F      C/E     
And face the facts of modern woman 
C                                     Dm11   
When you're an old fashioned man

She understands the things you're doin'
