Jonathan Coulton - The future soon

^DLast week I left a note on ^F#Laura's desk ^BmIt said I love you signed ^D7anonymous friend ^GTurns out she's smarter than I ^Dmaj7thought she was ^GShe knows I wrote it, now the ^Dwhole class ^F#does too And ^BmI'm alone during ^F#augcouple skate ^Bm7When she skates by with some ^Eguy on her arm But I ^Gknow that I'll ^Aforget the look of ^Gpity in her ^Aface When I'm ^Gliving in my ^Asolar dome on a ^Gplatform in ^Aspace

Cause it's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon ^A And I won't ^Bmalways be this ^Gway When the t^Dhings that make me ^Aweak and strange get ^Emeng^D/F#ineered a^Gway ^A It's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon^A I've never ^Bmseen it quite so ^Gclear And ^Gmwhen my heart is ^Dbreaking I can ^Emclose my eyes and ^Ait's already ^Dhere

^DI'll probably be some kind of ^F#scientist ^BmBuilding inventions in my ^D7space lab in space ^GI'll end world hunger I'll make ^Dmaj7dolphins speak ^GWork through the daytime, spend my ^Dnights and ^F#weekends Per^Bmfecting my warrior ^F#augrobot race ^Bm7Building them one laser ^Egun at a time I will ^Gdo my best to ^Ateach them About ^Glife and what it's ^Aworth I just ^Ghope that I can ^Gkeep them from des^Gtroying the ^AEarth

Cause it's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon ^A And I won't ^Bmalways be this ^Gway When the t^Dhings that make me ^Aweak and strange get ^Emeng^D/F#ineered a^Gway ^A It's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon^A I've never ^Bmseen it quite so ^Gclear And ^Gmwhen my heart is ^Dbreaking I can ^Emclose my eyes and ^Ait's already ^Dhere

^BbHere on Earth they'll ^Fwonder As I ^Bbpiece by piece ^Dreplace myself And the ^Bbsteel and circuits will ^Fmake me whole ^EmBut I'll still feel so ^A7sus4alone ^{A7 Em}Until Laura calls me ^Aaughome

^D I'll see her standing by the ^F#monorail ^Bm She'll look the same except for ^D7bionic eyes ^G She lost the real ones in the ^Dmaj7robot wars ^G I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say ^Dit's not ^F#your fault Or ^Bmis it? And she eyes me sus^F#augpiciously ^Bm7Hearing the whir of the ^Eservos inside She will ^Gscream and try to ^Arun But there's ^Gnowhere she can ^Ahide When a ^Gcrazy cyborg ^Awants to make you ^Ghis robot ^Abride

Cause it's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon ^A And I won't ^Bmalways be this ^Gway When the t^Dhings that make me ^Aweak and strange get ^Emeng^D/F#ineered a^Gway ^A It's gonna be the ^Dfuture soon^A I've never ^Bmseen it quite so ^Gclear And ^Gmwhen my heart is ^Dbreaking I can ^Emclose my eyes and ^Ait's already here
