[Intro/Verse 1]
 
             A     F#m A
This was a triumph
    F#m          A
I'm making a note here
F#m          A F#m
HUGE SUCCESS
     Bm              E         A      F#m A
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
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              E                    F
for the good of all of us 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 until you run out of cake
        Dm           G            C      G/B  Am
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
        F           E 
for the people who are still alive
 
 
A F#m A F#m
A F#m A F#m
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
             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              E                        A   F#m A
Even though you broke my heart and 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                 E                     F
As they burned, it hurt because 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           E 
for the people who are still alive
 
A F#m A F#m
A F#m A
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
F#m           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                E                   A   F#m A
Maybe you'll find someone else 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           E                          F
Anyway, this cake* is great - 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
And 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          E             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 (choke)
Still alive
