   Bm   (F#m)    Bm
In a hundred years from now
      D    (F#m)  Bm
They will attempt to tell us how

A scientific means to bliss

Will supercede the human kiss

A sub atomic chain

Will eliminate romance

That go straight to my heart

Straight to my heart

| Bm (F#m) | Bm (F#m) |

     Bm  (F#m)  Bm
A future sugar coated pill
        D   (F#m)  Bm
Would give our lovers time to kill
        Bm   (F#m)  Bm
I think they're working far too much
     D  (F#m) Bm
For the redundancy of touch

But what will make me yours

I'll be  true... To no one but you

     Bm  (F#m)   Bm
If it's a future world we fear
     D    (F#m)    Bm
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
      Bm (F#m)     Bm
For you can hold them in your hand
      D  (F#m)   Bm
Or let them fall into the sand

Bridge:
  A
But if our love is pure
     G          Em
The only thing of which we're sure
   G
Then you can play your part
    Bm    F#m  Bm
And go straight to my heart

   Bm  (F#m)    Bm
If I should seek immunity
       D  (F#m) Bm
And love you with impunity
     Bm (F#m)   Bm
Then the only thing to do
       D    (F#m)  Bm
Is for me to pledge myself to you

Bridge:
  A
But they only dealt one card
    G      Em
So for me it is not hard

You're the bright star in my chart

You go straight to my heart
