Capo 3rd Fret

C F G C
Yes it's true that I once went through life
C F G C
As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
F G
Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned
C Am
And through it all, yes, I have learned
F F
That love is not about whether you get stabbed
F G
But how slow the knife gets turned

F F
But my friends I've found an animal
F F
Who doesn't feel this pain
F F
And my life is so much better
F G
Now that I can feel the same

C F
Because you can't hate the night
G
If you've lived your whole life without light
C F
And you can't hate the dish
G
If you've only ever eaten fish
C F
And you can't feel alone
G C
If it's all you've ever known

F F
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
F F
Has no reason to be happy
G C
But it has no frikkin' idea
F C
What else to be

C F
The deep sea dwelling anglerfish
G C
Never has to find a mate
C F
They are always there together
G F
When it's time to procreate

F G
See one dark night, a young male
C Am
Bites the female on her side
F F
And then slowly he becomes
F G
A sperm-producing parasite

F F
And if we can say he lives at all
F F
He lives until she dies
F F
And until that day he literally
F G
Never leaves her side

C F
Yeah you can't hate the night
G
If you've lived your whole life without light
C F
And you can't hate the dish
G
If you've only ever eaten fish
C F
And you can't feel alone
G C
If it's all you've ever known

F F
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
F F
Has no reason to be happy
G C
But it has no frikkin' idea
F C
What else to be

C F
For years this rule has kept me
G C
Out of hopeless despair
C F
You simply do not feel
G C
What is always there

F G
I ask my brain to entertain
C Am
That pain is the same
F F
That if I feel it all the time
F G
Can you really call it pain

F F
I don't have any friends
F F
And I don't have any hair
F F
But neither does the anglerfish
F G
And she doesn't care

C F
Because you can't hate the night
G
If you've lived your whole life without light
C F
And you can't hate the dish
G
If you've only ever eaten fish
C F
And you can't feel alone
G C
If it's all you've ever known

F F
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
F F
Has no reason to be happy
G C
But she has no frikkin' idea
F C
What else to be
