INTRO - Am Dm Am X2
******

--------------------------------------------------
VERSE 1
********
           Dm
A wise man once said
            C
A flower is only
         F
A sexual organ
          G
Beauty is cruelty
        Am
And evolution
           G
A wise man once said
     Dm                          G           F       G
that everything could be explained with mathematics
       Dm
He had denied
    F
His feminine side
    G                   F
Now where is the wisdom in that

--------------------------------------------------
Bridge
*******
  Am                           E
I came just as fast as I could
                    Am
Through the dirty air
                 Dm
Of your neighbourhood
     Am                      E
Your name on a grain of rice
                  F
Hangin` around my neck

And a head like lead

--------------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
G                F
This is the 21st century
  Dm                         Am
I heard everything they said
    G          F
The Universe demystified
Dm                Am
Chemicals for God
G                F       Dm  Am
This is the 21st century

--------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
                Dm
A wise man once wrote
             C
That love is only
       F
Primal instinct
         G
For reproduction
        Am
Natural selection
           G
A wise man once said
     Dm                  C
That everything could be explained
         Am                 F
And it`s all in the brain

--------------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
G                F
This is the 21st century
  Dm                   Am
I heard everything you said
    G          F
The universe demystified
Dm          Am
Astronomy instead
G                F
This is the 21st century
          Dm                  Am
Can`t you get it through your head
     G                   F
This aint the way it was meant to be
Dm          Am
Magic isn`t dead
        G     F
Come to bed
     Dm     Am
Come to rest

--------------------------------------------------
Bridge
*******
E
    Am                   E
And rest your heavy head my love.


(Am E Am Dm E Dm)

    Am            E
And slowly, from above
               C                 Dm                      E
She showed the answer`s  something that can`t be written down

--------------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
G                F
This is the 21st century
Dm                    Am
Splash to crash and burn
    G                       F
But nobody`s gonna give you anything
    Dm                Am
For nothing in return
          G           F
There`s a man up in a mirrored building
    Dm                 Am
And he just bought the world
          G
Would you want
         F
Your own kids
        Dm
Growing up
                    Am
Into what`s left of this
              G      F
She shook her head
          Dm            Am
She said `Can`t you see
             G    F
The world is you
             Dm   Am
The world is me.


Nice easy Acoustic song to play too. Enjoy...........
