0This was a triumph
Bm4           D5          Bm6       D7        Bm8
1I’m making a note here: huge success
Em9               A10             D11    Bm12    D13
2It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Bm14       D15       Bm16       D17
3Aperture Science
Bm18            D19      Bm20       D21       Bm22
4We do what we must because we can
Em23              A24
5For the good of all of us
A#m725
6Except the ones who are dead
F26                    C27           A#28       F29
7But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
F30                C31               A#32         F33
8You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
Gm34                   C35            F36           Dm37
9And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
B38                      A39      D40    Bm41   D42
10For the people who are still alive

Bm43           D44         Bm45         D46
13I’m not even angry
Bm47        D48     Bm49         D50        Bm51
14I’m being so sincere right now
Em52              A53                  D54        Bm55    D56
15Even though you broke my heart and killed me
Bm57             D58       Bm59       D60
16And tore me to pieces
Bm61              D62      Bm63    D64       Bm65
17And threw every piece into a fire
Em66                A67
18As they burned it hurt because
A#m768
19I was so happy for you
F69                   C70           A#71        F72
20Now these points of data make a beautiful line
F73                C74             A#75         F76
21And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
Gm77                C78                F79                 Dm80
22So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
B81                      A82      D83    Bm84   D85

26Go ahead and leave me
Bm90             D91      Bm92     D93        Bm94
27I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Em95                A96               D97        Bm98    D99
28Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Bm100          D101       Bm102       D103
29Maybe Black Mesa
Bm104         D105        Bm106      D107       Bm108
30That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance

F116               C117                 A#118           F119
34When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
Gm120                  C121             F122              Dm123
35I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
B124                     A125      D126    Bm127   D128

          Bm133          D134          Bm135     D136
40I’m doing science and I’m still alive
       Bm137            D138          Bm139     D140
41I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
                 Bm141         D142         Bm143     D144
42And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
                Bm145          D146         Bm147     D148
43And when you’re dead I will be still alive
