This was a triumph
Bm D Bm D Bm
I?m making a note here: huge success
Em A D Bm D
It?s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Bm D Bm D
Aperture Science
Bm D Bm D Bm
We do what we must because we can
Em A
For the good of all of us
Bbm7
Except the ones who are dead
F C Bb F
But there?s no sense crying over every mistake
F C Bb F
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
Gm C F Dm
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
B A D Bm D
For the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
I?m not even angry
Bm D Bm D Bm
I?m being so sincere right now
Em A D Bm D
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
Bm D Bm D
And tore me to pieces
Bm D Bm D Bm
And threw every piece into a fire
Em A
As they burned it hurt because
Bbm7
I was so happy for you
F C Bb F
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
F C Bb F
And we?re out of beta, we?re releasing on time
Gm C F Dm
So I?m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
B A D Bm D
For the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
Go ahead and leave me
Bm D Bm D Bm
I think I?d prefer to stay inside
Em A D Bm D
Maybe you?ll find someone else to help you
Bm D Bm D
Maybe Black Mesa
Bm D Bm D Bm
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Em A
Anyway this cake is great
Bbm7
It?s so delicious and moist
F C Bb F
Look at me still talking when there?s science to do
F C Bb F
When I look out there it makes me glad I?m not you
Gm C F Dm
I?ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
B A D Bm D
On the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
And believe me I am still alive
Bm D Bm D
I?m doing science and I?m still alive
Bm D Bm D
I feel fantastic and I?m still alive
Bm D Bm D
And while you?re dying I?ll be still alive
Bm D Bm D
And when you?re dead I will be still alive
D Bm
Still alive
D Bm
Still aliv
