- Bm - - D - Bm D
This was a triumph
Bm D Bm D Bm
I’m making a note here: huge success
Em A D Bm D
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Bm D Bm D
Aperture Science
Bm D Bm D Bm
We do what we must because we can
Em A
For the good of all of us
Bbm7
Except the ones who are dead
F C Bb F
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
F C Bb F
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
Gm C F Dm
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
B A D Bm D
For the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
I’m not even angry
Bm D Bm D Bm
I’m being so sincere right now
Em A D Bm D
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
Bm D Bm D
And tore me to pieces
Bm D Bm D Bm
And threw every piece into a fire
Em A
As they burned it hurt because
Bbm7
I was so happy for you
F C Bb F
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
F C Bb F
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
Gm C F Dm
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
B A D Bm D
For the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
Go ahead and leave me
Bm D Bm D Bm
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Em A D Bm D
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Bm D Bm D
Maybe Black Mesa
Bm D Bm D Bm
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Em A
Anyway this cake is great
Bbm7
It’s so delicious and moist
F C Bb F
Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
F C Bb F
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
Gm C F Dm
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
B A D Bm D
On the people who are still alive
Bm D Bm D
And believe me I am still alive
Bm D Bm D
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
Bm D Bm D
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
Bm D Bm D
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
Bm D Bm D
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
D Bm
Still alive
