The Future Soon

[Intro] D  D4  D  D4

[First Part]

D                          F#
Last week I left a note on Laura's 
desk
Bm                        D7
It said I love you signed anonymous 
friend
G                              
Turns out she's smarter than I 
Dmaj7
thought she was
G                             D  
She knows I wrote it, now the 
         F#
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            
But I know that I'll forget the 
      G           A
look of pity in her face
         G            A           
When I'm living in my solar dome 
    G           A
on a platform in space

[Chorus]
                        D          
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
 A

            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            
And when my heart is breaking I 
  Em
can close my eyes and
A            D
it's already here

[Second Part]

D                           
I'll probably be some kind of 
  F#
scientist
Bm                        D7
Building inventions in my space lab 
in space
Continues after the ad
G                               
I'll end world hunger I'll make 
Dmaj7
dolphins speak
G                                  
Work through the daytime, spend my 
D          F#
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               A       
I just hope that I can keep them 
          G           A
from destroying the Earth

[Chorus]

                        D          
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
 A

            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            
And when my heart is breaking I 
  Em
can close my eyes and
A            D
it's already here

[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                     A74  A7
But I'll still feel so alone
Em                   A5+
Until Laura calls me home

[Third Part]

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 robot 
Dmaj7
wars
G                               D
I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say 
        F#
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             
When a crazy cyborg wants to make 
    G         A
you his robot bride

[Chorus]
                        D          
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
 A

            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            
And when my heart is breaking I 
  Em
can close my eyes and
A
it's already here
