So this is the 2nd version of the original I posted, I fixed some things and 
changed stuff.  This is the real version that Jonathan sings in the key of A.
Enjoy!

This is what he plays at the line before the chorus.  
Csus? 0 0 3 2 1 0 (Let Ring)

            A         F#m        A
This was a triumph
F#m          A          F#m      A        F#m
I�m making a note here: huge success
Bm               E             A    F#m   A
It�s hard to overstate my satisfaction
F#m      A       F#m      A
Aperture Science
F#m           A      F#m      A       F#m
We do what we must because we can
Bm              E
For the good of all of us
           Csus? ~~~~~~~ (Let Ring)
Except the ones who are dead
C                    G           F        C
But there�s no sense crying over every mistake
C                G               F          C
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
Dm                   G            C           Am*
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
F                      E      A    F#m  A
For the people who are still alive

F#m          A         F#m        A
I�m not even angry
F#m       A     F#m        A        F#m
I�m being so sincere right now
Bm              E                  A        F#m    A
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
F#m            A       F#m       A
And tore me to pieces
F#m             A      F#m   A       F#m
And threw every piece into a fire
Bm                E
As they burned it hurt because
          Csus? ~~~~~~ (Let Ring)
I was so happy for you

C                   G           F         C
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
C                G             F          C
And we�re out of beta, we�re releasing on time
Dm                G                C                 Am*
So I�m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
F                      E      A    F#m  A
For the people who are still alive

F#m          A         F#m        A
Go ahead and leave me
F#m            A      F#m    A        F#m
I think I�d prefer to stay inside
Bm                E               A        F#m   A
Maybe you�ll find someone else to help you
F#m         A       F#m      A
Maybe Black Mesa
F#m        A        F#m     A       F#m
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Bm          E
Anyway this cake is great
         Csus? ~~~~~~ (Let Ring)
It�s so delicious and moist
C                G                    F          C
Look at me still talking when there�s science to do
C               G                 F           C
When I look out there it makes me glad I�m not you
Dm                  G             C              Am*
I�ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
F                     E      A    F#m  A
On the people who are still alive

       F#m       A         F#m    A
And believe me I am still alive
          F#m         A          F#m    A
I�m doing science and I�m still alive
       F#m           A          F#m    A
I feel fantastic and I�m still alive
                 F#m        A         F#m    A
And while you�re dying I�ll be still alive
                F#m         A         F#m    A
And when you�re dead I will be still alive
A      F#m
Still alive
A      F#m
Still alive
