7 <-6 6 6 <-6
This was a triumph
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
I’m making a note here, huge success
-3 6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -3 <-6
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
7 <-6 6 6 <-6
Aperture Science
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
We do what we must because we can
6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -5 6 -6 6 -5 5
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead
-3 <-3 5 -6 6 -5 -5 5 -5 5 5 5
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
-3 <-3 5 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
7 -7 <-7 <-7 -7 7 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6
And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun
-5 5 -5 -6 -6 6 6 <-6 <-6
For the people who are still alive
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6
I’m not even angry
7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
I’m being so sincere right now
6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -3 <-6
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6
And tore me to pieces
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
And threw every piece into a fire
6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -5 6 -6 6 -5 5
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you
-3 <-3 5 -6 6 -5 -5 5 -5 5 5 5
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
-3 <-3 5 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
7 -7 <-7 <-7 -7 7 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 -6
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
-5 5 -5 -6 -6 6 6 <-6 <-6
For the people who are still alive
7 <-6 <-6 6 6 <-6
Go ahead and leave me
-3 7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
I think I prefer to stay inside
6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -3 <-6
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
7 <-6 6 6 <-6 7 <-6 6 6 <-6 -5 6 -3
Maybe Black Mesa—that was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
6 <-6 7 6 <5 -5 6 -3 -5 6 -6 6 -5 5
Anyway, this cake is great, it’s so delicious and moist
-3 <-3 5 -6 6 -5 -5 5 -5 5 5 5
Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
-3 <-3 5 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 -6
When I look out there, it makes me glad I’m not you
7 -7 <-7 <-7 -7 7 7 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 -6
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
-5 5 -5 -6 -6 6 6 <-6 <-6
On the people who are still alive
-7 -7 -8 -7 <-6 -5 6 <-6 <-6
And believe me, I am still alive
-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 <-6 -5 6 <-6 <-6
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 <-6 -5 6 <-6 <-6
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
-7 -7 -8 -7 <-6 -5 6 <-6 <-6
While you’re dying I’ll be still alive
-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 <-6 -5 6 <-6 <-6
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
7 -7 -7 7 <-6 <-6
Still alive, still alivePlay on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
