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
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
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
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
