[intro]
             C#     A#m C#
This was a triumph
    A#m           C#
I'm making a note here
A#m           C# A#m
"huge success"

     D#m              G#7
It's hard to overstate my satis-
C#      A#m C#
-faction

A#m         C#     A#m C#
Aperture Science
   A#m             C#       A#m      C# A#m
we do what we must because we can

D#m              G#7
For the good of all of us
           A
except the ones who are dead


[chorus]
            E        B           A       E
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
         E       B               A         E
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake
        F#m           B            E      B/D#  C#m
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
        A           G#7
for the people who are still alive

[verse]
             C#    A#m  C#
I'm not even angry
A#m          C#      A#m      C#   A#m
I'm being so sincere right now

D#m              G#7
Even though you broke my heart and
     C#   A#m C#
killed me

    A#m           C#   A#m C#
And tore me to pieces
    A#m               C#   A#m      C#  A#m
And threw every piece into a fire

D#m                 G#7
As they burned, it hurt because
         A
I was so happy for you


[chorus]
          E         B           A        E
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
          E      B             A         E
And we're out of beta; we're releasing on time
       A         B                E       B/D#       C#m
So I'm glad I got burned; think of all the things we learned
        A           G#7
for the people who are still alive

(quieter)
             C#       A#m  C#
Go ahead and leave me
  A#m            C#      A#m      C#   A#m
I think I prefer to stay inside

D#m                G#7
Maybe you'll find someone else
       C#   A#m C#
to help you

A#m           C#   A#m C#
Maybe Black Mesa?
A#m              C#     A#m            C#  A#m
That was a joke - haha - fat chance!

D#m           G#7
Anyway, this cake is great
          A
it's so delicious and moist


[chorus]
        E         B                    A         E
Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
  E        B                  A           E
I look out there; it makes me glad I'm not you
       A         B                E       B/D#   C#m
I've experiments to run; there is research to be done
       A          G#7            C#
on the people who are still alive


[outro]
A#m      C#           A#m           C#
And believe me, I am still alive!
A#m        C#             A#m            C#
I'm doing science and I'm still alive!
A#m        C#             A#m           C#
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive!
A#m              C#           A#m            C#
And when you're dying I'll be still alive!
A#m              C#            A#m           C#
And when you're dead I will be still alive
A#m         C#
Still alive
A#m        (C#)
Still alive
