This was a triumph
    Fm           G#
I'm making a note here
Fm           G# Fm
"huge success"

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

we do what we must because we can

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


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

I'm not even angry
Fm          G#      Fm      G#   Fm
I'm being so sincere right now

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

    Fm           G#   Fm G#
And tore me to pieces
    Fm               G#   Fm      G#  Fm
And threw every piece into a fire

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


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

Maybe you'll find someone else

Maybe Black Mesa?

Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
  B        F#                  E           B
I look out there; it makes me glad I'm not you

And when you're dying I'll be still alive!
Fm              G#            Fm           G#
And when you're dead I will be still alive
Fm         G#
Still alive

Still alive
