VERSE 1

A wise man [Dm]once said
A flower is [C]only
A sexual [F]organ
Beauty is [G]cruelty
And evol[Am]ution
A wise man [G]once said
that [Dm]everything could be explaine[G]d with mathe[F]matics[G]
He had [Dm]denied
His [F]feminine side
Now [G]where is the wisdom [F]in that

--------------------------------------------------

Bridge

I [Am]came just as fast as I could[E]
Through the dirty ai[Am]r
Of your neighbour[Dm]hood
Your [Am]name on a grain of rice[E]
Hangin' around my [F]neck
And a head like lead

--------------------------------------------------

Chorus

[G]This is the 21st [F]century
I [Dm]heard everything they said[Am]
The [G]Universe de[F]mystified
[Dm]Chemicals for God[Am]
[G]This is the 21st [F]century[Dm][Am]

--------------------------------------------------

VERSE 2

A wise man once [Dm]wrote
That love is [C]only
Primal [F]instinct
For repro[G]duction
Natural [Am]selection
A wise man [G]once said
That [Dm]everything could be [C]explained
And it's [Am]all in the brain[F]

--------------------------------------------------

Chorus

[G]This is the 21st [F]century
I [Dm]heard everything you [Am]said
The [G]universe de[F]mystified
[Dm]Astronomy in[Am]stead
[G]This is the 21st [F]century
Can't you [Dm]get it through your [Am]head
This [G]aint the way it was [F]meant to be
[Dm]Magic isn't [Am]dead
Come to [G]bed[F]
Come [Dm]to rest[Am]

--------------------------------------------------

Bridge

[E]
And [Am]rest your heavy head [E]my love.

[(Am] [E] [Am] [Dm] [E] [Dm)]

And [Am]slowly, from a[E]bove
She showed the [C]answer's somethin[Dm]g that can't be written [E]down

--------------------------------------------------

Chorus

[G]This is the 21st [F]century
[Dm]Splash to crash and bu[Am]rn
But [G]nobody's gonna give you [F]anything
For [Dm]nothing in return[Am]
There's a [G]man up in a [F]mirrored building
And [Dm]he just bought the [Am]world
Would you [G]want
Your own [F]kids
Growing [Dm]up
Into what's left of [Am]this
She shook her [G]head[F]
She said "[Dm]Can't you see[Am]
The world is [G]you[F]
The world is [Dm]me.[Am]

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