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

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

D#m         F#     D#m F#
Aperture Science
   D#m             F#       D#m      F# D#m
we do what we must because we can

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


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

[verse]
             F#    D#m  F#
I'm not even angry
D#m          F#      D#m      F#   D#m
I'm being so sincere right now

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

    D#m           F#   D#m F#
And tore me to pieces
    D#m               F#   D#m      F#  D#m
And threw every piece into a fire

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


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

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

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

D#m           F#   D#m F#
Maybe Black Mesa?
D#m              F#     D#m            F#  D#m
That was a joke - haha - fat chance!

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


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


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