Lessons
This song is covered in suuuupaadave's Lesson a Week series. The lesson for "The Future Soon" is available as a YouTube video.
suuuupaadave's video covers various interesting observations not expressed in the chord chart below (such as strumming patterns, notes about particular chords, and so on) and is therefore highly recommended.

Chords
The following chords were originally transcribed by forum member tristan and revised and reformatted by forum member Khavall.
While this set of chords has been looked over by Jonathan himself, it differs from suuuupaadave's Lesson a Week video for "The Future Soon" in one notable place. In the prechorus, suuuupaadave uses the chord progression "Bm-F#aug-Bm7-E", where the middle two chords are different from those in the transcription. (The prechorus in the first verse, for example, begins with the line, "And I'm alone during couple skate.")
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 Bbaug And I'm all alone during couple skate Bm 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 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 A And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and 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 Bbaug Perfecting my warrior robot race Bm 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
Repeat chorus
Bridge
These are the chords used in the studio recording of the song that appears in the store. In live performances, the last chord of the bridge is usually modified from an Aaug chord to a simpler A chord.
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 Asus But I'll still feel so alone Em Aaug Until Laura calls me home
Verse 3
D F# I'll see her standing by the monorail Bm D7 She'll look the same except for bionic eyes G D7 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? Bbaug And she eyes me suspiciously Bm 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
Repeat chorus
