[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C G F C
I'll tell you a story of a modern man
C G F C
A really funny story of a modern man
F
Who spends all his time doing the best he can
G
Even quits his job as singer in his rock and roll band
[Verse 2]
C G F C
So he goes out and finds himself a modern girl
C G F C
Gets himself in trouble with his modern girl
F
And they bring a new life into the modern world
G
And after one year, it's all over
[Chorus]
Am
And wow
F C G
What can this philosophy bring?
Am
I said now
F C
Is this a 21st century thing?
[Break]
C G F C x2
[Verse 3]
C G F C
So we all want our freedom and we want our choice
C G F C
Better take responsibility for freedom's voice
F
And then you pays your money and you takes your chance
G
To live with a distinctive lack of permanence
[Verse 4]
C G F C
So the young and the lonely need a helping hand
C G F C
It may be hard to find in these shifting sands
F
And who knows what it is that future history brings
G
And who knows on what behaviour it all may hinge
[Chorus]
Am
I say wow
F C G
What can this philosophy bring?
Am
I said now
F C
Is this a 21st century thing?
[Bridge]
F C G
'Cause it's the 21st century way that carries on, yes it is
F C G
And it's all that matters when all the other centuries are gone
[Verse 5]
C G F C
So we all want our remedies, we want our cures
C G F C
If we don't learn from history we're damned for sure
F
You see monogamy makes economic sense
G
But the nature of man is so against that expense
[Chorus]
Am
I say wow
F C G
We'll see what future history brings
Am
I said now
F C
It's a 21st century thing
[Outro]
C G F C x3
