The Future Soon

[D]  [Dsus4] [D]  [Dsus4]

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

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

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

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

[Bb]Here on Earth they'll [F]wonder
As I [Bb]piece by piece [D]replace myself
And the [Bb]steel and circuits will [F]make me whole
[Em]But I'll still feel so [A7Sus4]alone  [A7]
[Em]Until Laura calls me [Aaug]home

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

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