The Future Soon chords by Jonathan Coulton

This version fits people with a deeper voice better than the previous ones.
Basically it's the same, though.

B
Last week I left a note on Laura's desk
G7
It said I love you signed anonymous friend
Gmaj7
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
B
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
   Em                   EmM7
And I'm all alone during couple's skate
A
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
     D
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in her face
        D
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space

Chorus
                       D
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
       C
I won't always be this way
         D
When the things that make me weak and strange get
D
engineered away
                 D
It's gonna be the future soon
     C
never seen it quite so clear
   Am
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
G
it's already here

Verse 2
B
I'll probably be some kind of scientist
G7
Building inventions in my space lab in space
Gmaj7
I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak
B
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
  Em                 EmM7
Perfecting my warrior robot race
A
Building them one laser gun at a time
      D
I will do my best to teach them
     D
About life and what it's worth
      D
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth
Chorus
                       D
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
       C
I won't always be this way
         D
When the things that make me weak and strange get
D
engineered away
                 D
It's gonna be the future soon
     C
never seen it quite so clear
Am
when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
D7sus4
it's already...

Bridge
A#
Here on Earth they'll wonder
    G
As I piece by piece replace myself
       A#
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
D7
But I'll still feel so alone
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
B
I'll see her standing by the monorail
G7
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
Gmaj7
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
B
I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault
  Em
Or is it?
                  EmM7
And she eyes me suspiciously
A
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
        D
She will scream and try to run
           D
But there's nowhere she can hide
      D
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride

Chorus
                       D
Well it's gonna be the future soon
       C
I won't always be this way
         D
When the things that make me weak and strange get
D
engineered away
                 D
It's gonna be the future soon
     C
never seen it quite so clear
Am
when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
