This was a triumph . . . . I’m making a note here: huge success
      000              A                232   432   232 432 232 432 232
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

Aperture Science . . . we do what we must because we can
Em||                  A||                          Bbmaj7(113231)(sust.)
For the good of all of us except the ones who are dead

                  F           C                Bb           F3
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
              F           C                  Bb             F3
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
              Gm              C2                  F3                Dm
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
             Bb               A           D   Bm7 D Bm7  D Bm7 D
For the people who are still alive

I’m not even angry . . . . . . . I’m being so sincere right now
Em7                    A7                            D       Bm7   D
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
       Bm7          D      Bm7 D      Bm7            D         Bm7 D Bm7
And tore me to pieces . . . . . and threw every piece into a fire
Em7                  A7                               Bbmaj7(sust.)
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you

                  F            C                 Bb        F3
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
                  F       C                    Bb             F3
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time

            Gm         C2                    F3                     Dm
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
             Bb              A          D    Bm7   D   Bm7(sust.) 232 432 232
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me . . . . . . . I think I’d prefer to stay inside
000              A                232   432   232 432 232 432 232
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you

Maybe Black Mesa . . . . . . . . . . . that was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Em7||             A7||                              Bbmaj7(sust.)
Anyway this cake is great, it’s so delicious and moist

Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
             F         C                        Bb                F3
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
        Gm                  C2              F3                    Dm
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
            Bb              A          D    Bm7   D Bm7
On the people who are still alive
            D            Bm7      D   Bm7
And believe me I am still alive
                D               Bm7       D   Bm7
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
             D             Bm7      D   Bm7
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
                            D          Bm7     D   Bm7
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
                            D            Bm7      D   Bm7
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
        D    Bm7          D    Bm7 D(sust.)
Still alive . . . . . still alive
