Verse 1
D D F# F#
Last week I left a note on Laura's desk
Bm Bm D7 D7
It said I love you signed anonymous friend
G G Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
G G D D F# F#
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
Bm Bm F#aug F#aug
And I'm alone during couple skate
Bm7 Bm7 E E
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
G G A A G G A A
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in her face
G G A A G G A A
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space

Chorus
D D A A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
And I won't always be this way
D D A A
When the things that make me weak and strange get
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G A A
engineered away
D D A A
It's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
I've never seen it quite so clear
Gm Gm D D Em Em
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A A D D
it's already here

Verse 2
D D F# F#
I'll probably be some kind of scientist
Bm Bm D7 D7
Building inventions in my space lab in space
G G Dmaj7 Dmaj7
I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak
G G D D F# F#
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
Bm Bm F#aug F#aug
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Bm7 Bm7 E E
Building them one laser gun at a time
G G A A
I will do my best to teach them
G G A A
About life and what it's worth
G G G G G G A A
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth

Chorus
D D A A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
And I won't always be this way
D D A A
When the things that make me weak and strange get
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G A A
engineered away
D D A A
It's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
I've never seen it quite so clear
Gm Gm D D Em Em
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A A D D
it's already here

Bridge
Bb Bb F F
Here on Earth they'll wonder
Bb Bb D D
As I piece by piece replace myself
Bb Bb F F
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
Em Em A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7
But I'll still feel so alone
Em Em Aaug Aaug
Until Laura calls me home

Verse 3
D D F# F#
I'll see her standing by the monorail
Bm Bm D7 D7
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
G G Dmaj7 Dmaj7
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
G G D D F# F#
I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault
Bm Bm
Or is it?
F#aug F#aug
And she eyes me suspiciously
Bm7 Bm7 E E
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
G G A A
She will scream and try to run
G G A A
But there's nowhere she can hide
G G A A G G A A
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride

Chorus
D D A A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
And I won't always be this way
D D A A
When the things that make me weak and strange get
Em Em D/F# D/F# G G A A
engineered away
D D A A
It's gonna be the future soon
Bm Bm G G
I've never seen it quite so clear
Gm Gm D D Em Em
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A A
it's already here
