INTRO:   E 


VERSE:
              E
Well, there's sex in the sunny day
That shines down on Boylston street
And I love the USA
So share the modern world with me


CHORUS:
       A                    B
'Cause I'm in love with the U.S.A now
A                    B
I'm in love with the modern world now
A                  G        N.C.
Put down your cigarette and drop out of B.U!

Alright
That's right


VERSE:
      E
Well, out in the afternoon
Out in the arid plane
We'll share a modern love
Under suburban rain


CHORUS:
    A                   B
And me in love with the U.S.A. now
    A                   B
And me in love with the modern world now
A                 G        N.C.
Put down the cigarette and act like a true girl! Oh!


VERSE:
      E
Well, out on route 9,
It's bleak and nearly dying
Stop all this Greek stuff
And drop out of B.U.!


CHORUS:
    A                   B
And me in love with the U.S.A. now
    A                   B
And me in love with the modern world now
A                 B        N.C.
Put down the cigarette and drop out of high school, oh

Oh, that's right.


CHORUS:
    A                   B
And me in love with the U.S.A. now
    A                   B
And me in love with the modern world now
A                 G        N.C.
Put down the cigarette and act like a true girl!

Well, listen...


VERSE:
          E
Well, the modern world is not so bad
Not like the students say
In fact I'd be in heaven
If you'd share the modern world with me


CHORUS:
     A                   B
With me in love with the U.S.A., now
     A                   B
With me in love with the modern world, now
A                 G        N.C.
Put down the cigarette and share the modern world with me.
