    Verse 1
    Last 
    week 
    I left 
    a note 
    on Laura's 

    desk 

    It said 
    I 
    love 
    you signed 
    an
    onymous 
    friend 

    Turns 
    out 
    she's 
    smarter 

    than 
    I thought 
    she was 

    She knows 
    I 
    wrote 
    it, now 

    the whole 
    class 
    does 
    too 

    And 
    I'm 
    alone 
    during 
    couple 
    skate 

    When 
    she skates 
    by 
    with 

    some 
    guy 
    on 
    her 
    arm 

    But 
    I 
    know 
    that 
    I'll 
    forget 

    the look 
    of 
    pity 
    in her 
    face 

    When 
    I'm 
    living 
    in 
    my 
    sol
    ar 

    dome 
    on 
    a 
    platform 
    in 
    space 

    Cause 
    it's gonna 
    be the 
    Verse 2
    future 
    soon 

    And I 
    won't 
    al
    ways 
    be 
    this way 

    When the 
    things 
    that 
    make me 
    weak 

    and strange 
    get 
    engin
    eered 
    away 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    the 
    future 
    soon 

    I've never 
    seen 
    it quite 
    so 
    clear 

    And 
    when 
    my heart 
    is break
    ing 
    I can 
    close 

    my eyes 
    and 
    it's 
    already 
    here 

    Verse 3

    I'll 
    probably 
    be 
    some 
    kind 
    of sci
    entist 

    Building 
    inventions 
    in my 
    space 
    lab 
    in 
    space 

    I'll 
    end 
    world 
    hunger 
    I'll 

    make 
    dolphins 
    speak 

    Work 
    through 
    the daytime, 

    spend 
    my 
    nights 
    and 
    week
    ends 

    Perfect
    ing 
    my 
    warrior 
    ro
    bot 
    race 

    Building 
    them 
    one 
    laser 
    gun 
    at 
    a 
    time 

    I 
    will 
    do my 
    best 
    to teach 
    them 

    About 
    life 
    and 
    what 
    it's worth 

    I 
    just 
    hope 
    that 
    I can 
    keep 
    them 

    from 
    des
    troying 
    the 
    Earth 

    Cause 
    it's gonna 
    be the 
    Verse 4
    future 
    soon 

    And I 
    won't 
    always 
    be 
    this way 

    When 
    the 
    things 
    that make 
    me 
    weak 

    and strange 
    get 
    engin
    eered 
    away 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    the 
    future 
    soon 

    I've never 
    seen 
    it quite 
    so 
    clear 

    And 
    when 
    my heart 
    is break
    ing 
    I can 

    close 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 
    it's 
    already 

    Verse 5
    Here 
    on 
    Earth 
    they'll 
    won
    der 

    As 
    I 
    piece 
    by 
    piece 
    replace 
    myself 

    And the 
    steel 
    and 
    circuits 

    will 
    make 
    me 
    whole 

    But 
    I'll 
    still 
    feel 
    so 
    alone 

    Until 
    Laura 
    calls 
    me 
    home 

    Verse 6
    I'll 
    see 
    her 
    standing 
    by 
    the monorail 

    She'll 
    look 
    the same 

    except 
    for 
    bionic eyes 

    She lost 
    the real 
    ones 
    in 
    the ro
    bot 
    wars 

    I'll 
    say 
    I'm 
    sorry, 

    she'll 
    say 
    it's 
    not 
    your 
    fault 

    Or 
    is 
    it? 

    And she 
    eyes 
    me 
    suspi
    ciously 

    Hearing 
    the 
    whir 
    of 
    the ser
    vos 
    inside 

    She 
    will 
    scream 
    and 
    try 
    to run

    But there's 
    nowhere 
    she can 
    hide 

    When 
    a 
    crazy 
    cybor
    g wants 

    to make 
    you 
    his 
    robot 
    bride 

    Well 
    it's gonna 
    be the 
    Verse 7
    future 
    soon 

    And I 
    won't 
    always 
    be 
    this way 

    When 
    the 
    things 
    that make 
    me 
    weak 

    and strange 
    get 
    engin
    eered 
    away 

    It's 
    gonna 
    be 
    the 
    future 
    soon 

    I've never 
    seen 
    it quite 
    so 
    clear 

    And 
    when 
    my heart 
    is break
    ing 
    I can 

    close

    eyes 
    and

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
