INTRO

C G6 G*
A penny in your pocket,
Am Em C7/B
A suitcase in your hand,
F C/E
They won't get you very far,
Dm F/G G6 G*
Now you're a twenty-first century man
C G6 G*
Fly across the city,
Am Em C7/B
Far above the land,
F C/E
You can do most anything,
Dm B B/A B/Ab
You're a twenty-first century man
G G/F C/E F Dm Am
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
G G/F C/E F Fm
You still wander the fields of your sorrow - what will it bring?
C G6 G*
One day you're a hero,
Am Em C7/B
The next day you're a clown,
F C/E
There's nothing that is in between,
Dm F/G G6 G*
Now you're a twenty-first century man
C G6 G*
You should be so happy,
Am Em C7/B
You should be so glad,
F C/E
So why are you so lonely,
Dm B B/A B/Ab
You're a twenty-first century man
G G/F C/E F
You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone,
G G/F C/E F Fm
Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

Twenty-first century man
C G6 G*
Things aren't how you thought they were,
Am Em C7/B
Nothing have you planned,
F C/E
So pick up your penny and your suitcase,
Dm B B/A B/Ab
You're not a twenty-first century man.
G G/F C/E F Dm Am
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
G G/F C/E F Fm
You still wander the fields of your sorrow - tomorrow
