The Happy Nihilist The Classic Crime
The Classic Crime - The Happy Nihilist
Tuning: Half Step Down
[Am]I am a happy ni[E]hilist, [Dm]no absolute truth does e[F]xist[(G)]
[Am]When I decide to shake my f[E]ist, I[Dm] 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]I?ve taught this to myself, p[C]iled books up on the shelf
[Am]But it still hurts like hell to t[G]rust nobody else but me
[F]I?ve taught this to myself, p[C]iled books up on the shelf
[Am]But it still hurts like hell to t[G]rust nobody else
[Am]I used to read everything, I[E] used to need nothing
[Dm]I put my money on me, [F]I used to be something
[Am]Now I can?t s[E]leep, ca[Dm]use I?m not ha[F]ppy
Am C Am F 2x Am
[F]I?ve taught this to myself, p[C]iled books up on the shelf
[Am]But it still hurts like hell to t[G]rust nobody else but me
[F]I?ve taught this to myself, p[C]iled books up on the shelf
[Am]But it still hurts like hell to t[G]rust nobody else but m[F]e
[Am]Who[C]a [E]oh[F] 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
Have m[F]ade me more blind but the truth I?ll find it
[Am]I was a happy ni[E]hilist
[Dm]Now I?m wondering why I ex[F]ist
[Am] [C] [Am] [F]
