Intro: |D |Dsus4|D |Dsus4|

Verse 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                   BmM7      
And I'm all alone during couple's 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

Chorus
                        D           A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
        Bm             G
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
never seen it quite so clear
    Gm               D              Em
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A7sus4        D
it's already here

Verse 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                 BmM7
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               A                 G           A
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth

Chorus
                        D           A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
        Bm             G
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
never seen it quite so clear
Gm               D              Em
when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A7sus4
it's already...

Bridge
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                   A+ *
Until Laura calls me home
  [ * Instead of A+, JoCo plays A or A7(sus) here when he plays this song live; the A+ is a little hard to hit accurately. ]

Verse 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?
                   BmM7
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

Chorus
                        D           A
Well it's gonna be the future soon
        Bm             G
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
never seen it quite so clear
Gm               D              Em
when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A7sus4            
it's already here
