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
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

She understands the things you're doin'

She's a modern woman

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

She won't be hypnotized by your usual charm

verse 3:
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
C Dm11
You got to learn to relax
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
Am7 Bb F/A Gm7 F
She understands the things you're doin'
Eb
She's a modern woman
