Jonathan Coulton – Still alive

[Intro/Verse 1]

             A     F#m A
This was a triumph
     F#m      A
I'm making a note here
 F#m     A   F#m
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                    F
for the good of all of us except the ones who are dead


[Chorus]

             C         G           F       C
but there's no sense crying over every mistake
          C        G               F          C
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake
          Dm          G           (C      G)   Am
and the science gets done and you make a neat gun
         F         E           A     F#m
for the people who are still alive

A F#m
A F#m

[Verse 2]

     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                     F
As they burned, it hurt because I was so happy for you


[Chorus]

           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
         F         G              (C         G)       Am
So I'm GLaD I got burned; think of all the things we learned
         F         E           A    F#m
for the people who are still alive

A


[Verse 3]

F#m           A       F#m A
Go ahead and leave me
    F#m       A       F#m   A    F#m
I think I 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 - haha - FAT CHANCE!
Bm            E                          F
Anyway, this cake* is great - it's so delicious and moist


[Chorus]

         C         G                     F         C
Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
       C         G                  F           C
And I look out there; it makes me GLaD I'm not you
     F               G             C       G      Am
I've experiments to run; there is research to be done
        F         E             A
on the people who are still alive


F#m
A F#m
A F#m

[Outro]

       A          F#m        A      F#m
And believe me, I am still alive!
            A           F#m       A     F#m
I'm doing science and I'm still alive!
           A           F#m       A    F#m
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive!
                 A          F#m       A    F#m
And when you're dying I'll be still alive!
                 A           F#m       A
And when you're dead I will be still alive
F#m          A
     Still alive
F#m          A (choke)
     Still alive
