The Happy Nihilist by The Classic Crime The Classic Crime - The Happy Nihilist Tuning: Half Step Down Am E Dm F (G) I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist Am E Dm When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame F Cause we’re all players and life's the game Am I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet E I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed Dm No moral compass for me, it's all just natural feelings F Existence has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy Am But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see E There's something burning in me, a driving need to be free, Dm Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need? F There's nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream? Am C Am F 2x Am F C I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf Am G But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me F C I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf Am G But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else Am E I used to read everything, I used to need nothing Dm F I put my money on me, I used to be something Am E Dm F Now I can’t sleep, cause I’m not happy Am C Am F 2x Am F C I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf Am G But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me F C I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf Am G F But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me Am C E F Whoa oh oh... Am Why am I haunted by the metaphysical? C Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal? E The books I read that used to free my mind F Have made me more blind but the truth I’ll find it Am E I was a happy nihilist Dm F Now I’m wondering why I exist Am C Am F Chorus www.TAB6.com
