Eb Ab Bb Eb
Yes it's true that I once went through life
Eb Ab Bb Eb
As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
Ab Bb
Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned
Eb Cm
And through it all, yes, I have learned
Ab Ab
That love is not about whether you get stabbed
Ab Bb
But how slow the knife gets turned
Ab Ab
But my friends I've found an animal
Ab Ab
Who doesn't feel this pain
Ab Ab
And my life is so much better
Ab Bb
Now that I can feel the same
Eb Ab
Because you can't hate the night
Bb
If you've lived your whole life without light
Eb Ab
And you can't hate the dish
Bb
If you've only ever eaten fish
Eb Ab
And you can't feel alone
Bb Eb
If it's all you've ever known
Ab Ab
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Ab Ab
Has no reason to be happy
Bb Eb
But it has no frikkin' idea
Ab Eb
What else to be
Eb Ab
The deep sea dwelling anglerfish
Bb Eb
Never has to find a mate
Eb Ab
They are always there together
Bb Ab
When it's time to procreate
Ab Bb
See one dark night, a young male
Eb Cm
Bites the female on her side
Ab Ab
And then slowly he becomes
Ab Bb
a sperm-producing parasite
Ab Ab
And if we can say he lives at all
Ab Ab
He lives until she dies
Ab Ab
And until that day he literally
Ab Bb
Never leaves her side
Eb Ab
Yeah you can't hate the night
Bb
If you've lived your whole life without light
Eb Ab
And you can't hate the dish
Bb
If you've only ever eaten fish
Eb Ab
And you can't feel alone
Bb Eb
If it's all you've ever known
Ab Ab
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Ab Ab
Has no reason to be happy
Bb Eb
But it has no frikkin' idea
Ab Eb
What else to be
Eb Ab
For years this rule has kept me
Bb Eb
Out of hopeless despair
Eb Ab
You simply do not feel
Bb Eb
What is always there
Ab Bb
I ask my brain to entertain
Eb Cm
That pain is the same
Ab Ab
That if I feel it all the time
Ab Bb
Can you really call it pain
Ab Ab
I don't have any friends
Ab Ab
And I don't have any hair
Ab Ab
But neither does the anglerfish
Ab Bb
And she doesn't care
Eb Ab
Because you can't hate the night
Bb
If you've lived your whole life without light
Eb Ab
And you can't hate the dish
Bb
If you've only ever eaten fish
Eb Ab
And you can't feel alone
Bb Eb
If it's all you've ever known
Ab Ab
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
Ab Ab
Has no reason to be happy
Bb Eb
But she has no frikkin' idea
Ab Eb
What else to be
