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
