Chords

[Intro] Bm G Bm A x2 [Verse 1]
Bm            G
   I've never sailed on a sea

Bm             A
   I would not challenge a giant

Bm             G
   I could not take on the church

Bm          A
   'Til the 21st century lose

Bm          G
   I know a government man

Bm           A
   He was as blind as the moon, and he

Bm            G
   He saw the sun in the night

Bm           A
   He took a top-gun pilot and he

Bm             G
   He made him fly through a hole

Bm         A
   'Til he grew real old, and he

Bm        G
   And he never came down

Bm         A
   He just flew till he burst
[Chorus 1]
          Bm
Time will crawl

         G
'Til our mouths run dry

          Bm
Time will crawl

         A
'Til our feet grow small

          Bm
Time will crawl

         G
'Til our tails fall off

          Bm
Time will crawl

         A
'Til the 21st century lose
Bm G Bm A [Verse 2]
Bm         G
   I saw a black, black stream

Bm         A
   Full of white eyed fish

Bm       G
   And a drowning man

Bm         A
   With no eyes at all

Bm          G
   I felt a warm, warm breeze

Bm             A
   That melted metal and steel

Bm         G
   I got a bad migraine

Bm             A
   That lasted three long years

Bm         G
   And the pills that I took

Bm         A
   Made my fingers disappear
[Chorus 2]
          Bm     G
Time will crawl

          Bm     A/C#
Time will crawl

          Bm
Time will crawl

         G             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose

A
  (Go!)
[Interlude]
Bm  G  Bm  A            Bm
             Time will crawl

G            Bm     A
   Time will crawl
[Verse 3]
Bm            G
   You were a talented child

Bm             A
   You came to live in our town

Bm          G
   We never bothered to scream

Bm           A
   When your mask went off

Bm         G
   We only smelt the gas

Bm       A
   As we lay down to sleep
[Chorus 1]
          Bm
Time will crawl

        G
And our heads bowed down

          Bm
Time will crawl

        A
And our eyes fall out

          Bm
Time will crawl

        G
And the streets run red

          Bm
Time will crawl

         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose

        G
And our mouths run dry

          Bm
Time will crawl

        A
And our feet grow small

          Bm
Time will crawl

        G
And our tails fall off

          Bm
Time will crawl

         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose

        G
And our heads bowed down

          Bm
Time will crawl

        A
And our eyes fall out

          Bm
Time will crawl

        G
And the streets run red

          Bm
Time will crawl

         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose
[Outro]
G            Bm
   Time will crawl

        A/C#
For the crazy child

          Bm
Time will crawl

                 G
We'll give every life

          Bm
Time will crawl

                 A             Bm
For the crackpot notion
'Til the 21st century lose
G            Bm
   Time will crawl

A/C#  Bm  G  Bm  A
