Intro: A7   A   A7   A  


A7          A
This was a triumph.
     A7      A        A7       A
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
    Bm            E            A       A7    A 
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
A7       A       A7     A
Aperture Science
   A7         A
We do what we must
A7         A
because we can.
Bm              E
For the good of all of us.
           Dsus? ~~~~~~~~~~ (Let ring)
Except the ones who are dead.


 Chorus 1
            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
And the Science gets done.
         C    Csus4?  Am   
And you make a neat gun.
         F          E         A     A7   A   A7   A
For the people who are still alive!


A7            A     A7    A
I'm not even angry.
A7        A    A7          A    A7  
I'm being so sincere right now.
Bm               E       
Even though you broke my heart.
    A             A7   A  
And killed me.
A7              A      A7 
And tore me to pieces.
     A7           A    A7     A
And threw every piece into a fire.
Bm                 E                    Dsus4? ~~~~~~~~ (Let Ring)
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!


 Chorus 2
C                    G          F          C
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
     C            G 
And we're out of beta.
        F           C
We're releasing on time.
        Dm           G
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
 C               Csus4?       Am
Think of all the things we learned
         F          E         A7    A  
for the people who are still alive.


A7             A     
Go ahead and leave me.
   A7      A         A7    A
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Bm                  E              A7      A
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
A7     A        A7      A
Maybe Black Mesa
A7          A
THAT WAS A JOKE.
A7         A
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Bm            E
Anyway, this cake is great.
         Dsus? ~~~~~~~ (Ring Out)
It's so delicious and moist.


Chorus 3

        C         G 
Look at me still talking
              F     
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
I've experiments to run.
           C      Csus4?  Am
There is research to be done.
        F          E         A      A7  
On the people who are still alive.

Outro
     A7         A      A7       A
And believe me I am still alive.
           A7          A         A7    A
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
          A7         A      A7       A
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
     A7         A      A7       A
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
     A7         A      A7       A
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

STILL ALIVE (x2)
