This version fits people with a deeper voice better than the previous ones.
Basically it's the same, though.
GLast week I left a note on BLaura's desk
EmIt said I love you signed G7anonymous friend
CTurns out she's smarter than I Gmaj7thought she was
CShe knows I wrote it, now the Gwhole class Bdoes too
Em EmM7
And I'm all alone during couple's skate
Em7When she skates by with some Aguy on her arm
But IC know that I'llD forget the look ofC pity in herD face
When I'mC living in myD solar dome on aC platform inD space
Chorus
Cause it's gonna be theG future soonD
I won'tEm always be thisC way
When the Gthings that make meD weak and strange get
AmengG/Bineered Caway D
It's gonna be theG future sooDn
neverEm seen it quite soC clear
AndCm when my heart isG breaking I canAm close my eyes and
D7sus4it's already hGere
Verse 2
GI'll probably be some kind of Bscientist
EmBuilding inventions in my G7space lab in space
CI'll end world hunger I'll make Gmaj7dolphins speak
CWork through the daytime, spend my Gnights and Bweekends
Em EmM7
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Em7Building them one laser Agun at a time
I willC do my best toD teach them
AboutC life and what it'sD worth
I justC hope that I canD keep them from deCstroying theD Earth
Chorus
Cause it's gonna be theG future soonD
I won'tEm always be thisC way
When the Gthings that make meD weak and strange get
AmengG/Bineered Caway D
It's gonna be theG future sooDn
neverEm seen it quite soC clear
Cmwhen my heart is Gbreaking I can Amclose my eyes and
D7sus4it's already...
Bridge
D#Here on Earth they'll A#wonder
As ID# piece by pieceG replace myself
And theD# steel and circuits willA# make me whole
AmBut I'll still feel so D7sus4alone D7
Em A+ *
Until Laura calls me home
[ * Instead of A+, JoCo plays A or A7(sus) here when he plays this song live; the A
+ is a little hard to hit accurately. ]
Verse 3
GI'll see her standing by the mBonorail
EmShe'll look the same except for bG7ionic eyes
CShe lost the real ones in the rGmaj7obot wars
CI'll say I'm sorry, she'll say iGt's not yBour fault
OrEm is it?
EmM7
And she eyes me suspiciously
Em7Hearing the whir of the Aservos inside
She willC scream and try toD run
But there'sC nowhere she canD hide
When aC crazy cyborgD wants to make youC his robotD bride
Chorus
Well it's gonna be the Gfuture soon D
I won'tEm always be thisC way
When the Gthings that make meD weak and strange get
AmengG/Bineered Caway D
It's gonna be theG future sooDn
neverEm seen it quite soC clear
Cmwhen my heart is Gbreaking I can Amclose my eyes and
D7sus4it's already here
