Intro: (D  D4) 2x 

Verso 1: 
D                          F# 
Last week I left a note on Laura's desk 
Bm                        D7 
It said I love you signed anonymous friend 
G                              Dmaj7 
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was 
G                             D           F# 
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too 
    Bm               F#5+       
And I'm alone during couple skate 
Bm7                          E 
When she skates by with some guy on her arm 
      G              A                  G           A 
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in her face 
         G            A               G           A 
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space 


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

Verso 2: 
D                             F# 
I'll probably be some kind of scientist 
Bm                        D7 
Building inventions in my space lab in space 
G                               Dmaj7 
I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak 
G                                  D          F# 
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends 
   Bm                 F#5+ 
Perfecting my warrior robot race 
Bm7                     E 
Building them one laser gun at a time 
       G             A 
I will do my best to teach them 
      G                  A 
About life and what it's worth 
       G               G                 G           A 
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth 



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

Ponte: 
Bb                    F 
Here on Earth they'll wonder 
     Bb             D 
As I piece by piece replace myself 
        Bb                      F 
And the steel and circuits will make me whole 
Em                     A7sus4 A7 
But I'll still feel so alone 
Em                   A5+ 
Until Laura calls me home 

Verso 3: 
D                             F# 
 I'll see her standing by the monorail 
Bm                               D7 
 She'll look the same except for bionic eyes 
G                              Dmaj7 
 She lost the real ones in the robot wars 
G                               D        F#  
 I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault 
   Bm 
Or is it? 
                   F#5+ 
And she eyes me suspiciously 
Bm7                     E 
Hearing the whir of the servos inside 
         G                 A 
She will scream and try to run 
            G               A 
But there's nowhere she can hide 
       G            A                 G         A 
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride 


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