Jonathan Coulton – The Future Soon (Ukulele)

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#aug      
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

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#aug
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

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                   Aaug
Until Laura calls me home

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#aug
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
