Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Partial SOLO: )
She's  a modern girl in a modern world
Where  only the strong can survive.
 Too many dreams have been laid at her door,
 But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Where  would you fit in the scheme of her day
And  where could you fit in her heart?
 Trying to be small will get you nowhere at all,
 But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Don't  throw your love away.
 Don't throw your love away.
Don't  throw your love away.
 Don't throw your love away.
 She moves through your life like a warm summer breeze,
And  nothing will stand in her way.
 The sound of her voice brings your heart to its knees,
 But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
