[intro]

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

     Bm              E7
It's hard to overstate my satis-

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

Bm              E7
For the good of all of us
           F
except the ones who are dead


[chorus]
            C        G           F       C
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
         C       G               F         C
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake
        Dm           G            C      G/B  Am
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
        F           E7
for the people who are still alive

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

Bm              E7
Even though you broke my heart and
     A   F#m A
killed me

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

Bm                 E7
As they burned, it hurt because
         F
I was so happy for you


[chorus]
          C         G           F        C
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
          C      G             F         C
And we're out of beta; we're releasing on time
       F         G                C       G/B       Am
So I'm glad I got burned; think of all the things we learned
        F           E7
for the people who are still alive

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

Bm                E7
Maybe you'll find someone else
       A   F#m A
to help you

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

Bm           E7
Anyway, this cake is great
          F
it's so delicious and moist


[chorus]
        C         G                    F         C
Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
  C        G                  F           C
I look out there; it makes me glad I'm not you
       F         G                C       G/B   Am
I've experiments to run; there is research to be done
       F          E7            A
on the people who are still alive


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