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

It's hard to overstate my satis-

Aperture Science

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

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

for the people who are still alive

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
