     Bm     (F#m)       Bm
In a hundred years from now
           D        (F#m)    Bm
They will attempt to tell us how
       Bm   (F#m)     Bm
A scientific means to bliss

Will supercede the human kiss
  Bm  (F#m)  Bm
A sub atomic chain
           D   (F#m)     Bm
Will maybe galvanize the brain
  Bm (F#m)  Bm
A biochemic trance
      D  (F#m)   Bm
Will eliminate romance

Bridge:
    A
But why ever should we care

Formed by lovers' ancient art

That go straight to my heart

Straight to my heart

         Bm   (F#m)   Bm
A future sugar coated pill
               D     (F#m)    Bm
Would give our lovers time to kill
                Bm     (F#m)    Bm
I think they're working far too much
          D    (F#m)  Bm
For the redundancy of touch

Bridge:
    A
But what will make me yours
      G              Em
Are a million deadly spores

Formed by lovers' ancient art

That go straight to my heart
Bm       F#m   Bm
Straight to my heart

If it's a future world we fear

We have tomorrow's seeds right here
            Bm  (F#m)         Bm
For you can hold them in your hand
            D   (F#m)     Bm
Or let them fall into the sand

Bridge:
    A
But if our love is pure
         G                    Em
The only thing of which we're sure

Then you can play your part
       Bm       F#m   Bm
And go straight to my heart

     Bm    (F#m)       Bm
If I should seek immunity
             D    (F#m) Bm
And love you with impunity
         Bm  (F#m)     Bm
Then the only thing to do
             D       (F#m)    Bm
Is for me to pledge myself to you

Come and be my wife
