This was a triumph
    Bm           D
I'm making a note here
Bm           D Bm
"huge success"

     Em              A7
It's hard to overstate my satis-

Bm         D     Bm D
Aperture Science
   Bm             D       Bm      D Bm
we do what we must because we can

Em              A7
For the good of all of us
           Bb
except the ones who are dead


[chorus]
            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      C/E  Dm
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
        Bb           A7
for the people who are still alive

I'm not even angry
Bm          D      Bm      D   Bm
I'm being so sincere right now

Em              A7
Even though you broke my heart and
     D   Bm D
killed me

    Bm           D   Bm D
And tore me to pieces
    Bm               D   Bm      D  Bm
And threw every piece into a fire

Em                 A7
As they burned, it hurt because
         Bb
I was so happy for you


[chorus]
          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
       Bb         C                F       C/E       Dm
So I'm glad I got burned; think of all the things we learned
        Bb           A7
for the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
  Bm            D      Bm      D   Bm
I think I prefer to stay inside

Em                A7
Maybe you'll find someone else
       D   Bm D
to help you

Bm           D   Bm D
Maybe Black Mesa?
Bm              D     Bm            D  Bm
That was a joke - haha - fat chance!

Em           A7
Anyway, this cake is great
          Bb
it's so delicious and moist


[chorus]
        F         C                    Bb         F
Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
  F        C                  Bb           F
I look out there; it makes me glad I'm not you
       Bb         C                F       C/E   Dm
I've experiments to run; there is research to be done
       Bb          A7            D
on the people who are still alive


[outro]
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 when you're dying I'll be still alive!
Bm              D            Bm           D
And when you're dead I will be still alive
Bm         D
Still alive
Bm        (D)
Still alive
