[Bm] [Bbm] [Am] [G] We met on [C] the highway, she [G] flagged me down.
Had a flat on [C] her stingray, with nobody [G]
around.
So I helped [Em] her out, [C] she said climb [G]
in.
[C] So [G] I ditched my [D] old truck just [C] to see where [D] the party [G] would end.
We spent the weekend [C] in Reno, [G] in a honeymoon suite.
Never saw the [C]
casino, [Em] barely took [G] time to eat.
I never [Em]
dreamed [C] she would take me [G] that far.
[C] But [G] by Sunday [D] that lady [C] had taken a [D] hold of [G] my heart.
[C] [G] It's a modern [C] day romance, a new [G] kind of game.
With no time [D] to slow dance, in the [G] fast lane.
I tried [C] to love her, without [G] any strength.
[C] [G] But a modern [D] day romance [C] has left me [D] some old [G] fashioned pain.

[D]
She never [C] said goodbye, just a note [G] by the phone.
Said thanks [C] for the good times, but it's time [G] to move on.
Well I'm [Em] out here walking, [C]
with my [G] thumb in the air.
[C]
[G] And wondering [D] where she [C] might have gone, [D] and why I [G] even care.
It's just a [C] modern day romance, a new [G] kind of game.
With no [D] time to slow dance, in the [G] fast lane.
I [C] tried to love her, without [G] any strength.
[C]
[G] But a modern day [C] romance has left [D] me some [G] old fashioned [C] pain.
[G]
It's a [C] modern day romance, [D]
an old fashioned pain.
[G] [Am] [G]
