           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

                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...........
