T[Bm]his was a t[D]riumph [Bm] [D]
[Bm]I�m making a [D]note here: [Bm]huge succ[D]ess [Bm]
[Em]It�s hard to over[A]state my satis[D]facti[Bm]on [D]
[Bm]Aperture [D]Science [Bm] [D]
[Bm]We do what we [D]must be[Bm]cause we [D]can [Bm]
[Em]For the good of [A]all of us
[BbM7]Except the ones who are dead
[F]But there�s no sense [C]crying over [Bb]every mis[F]take
[F]You just keep on [C]trying till you [Bb]run out of [F]cake
Gm C F Dm*
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
[Bb]For the people who are [A]still a[D]live [Bm] [D]
[Bm]I�m not even [D]angry [Bm] [D]
[Bm]I�m being [D]so sin[Bm]cere right [D]now [Bm]
[Em]Even though you [A]broke my heart and [D]killed me[Bm] [D]
[Bm]And tore me to [D]pieces [Bm] [D]
[Bm]And threw every [D]piece i[Bm]nto a [D]fire [Bm]
[Em]As they burned it [A]hurt because
[BbM7]I was so happy for you
[F]Now these points of [C]data make a [Bb]beautiful [F]line
[F]And we�re out of [C]beta, we�re re[Bb]leasing on [F]time
Gm C F Dm*
So I�m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
[Bb]For the people who are [A]still a[D]live [Bm] [D]
[Bm]Go ahead and [D]leave me [Bm] [D]
[Bm]I think I�d pre[D]fer to [Bm]stay in[D]side [Bm]
[Em]Maybe you�ll find [A]someone else to [D]help you [Bm] [D]
[Bm]Maybe Black [D]Mesa [Bm] [D]
[Bm]That was a [D]joke, ha [Bm]ha, fat [D]chance [Bm]
[Em]Anyway this [A]cake is great
[BbM7]It�s so delicious and moist
[F]Look at me still [C]talking when there�s [Bb]science to [F]do
[F]When I look out [C]there it makes me [Bb]glad I�m not [F]you
Gm C F Dm*
I�ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
[B]On the people who are [A]still a[D]live [Bm] [D]
And bel[Bm]ieve me I [D]am still a[Bm]live [D]
I�m doing [Bm]science and [D]I�m still a[Bm]live [D]
I feel [Bm]fantastic and [D]I�m still a[Bm]live [D]
And while you�re [Bm]dying I�ll [D]be still a[Bm]live [D]
And when you�re [Bm]dead I will [D]be still a[Bm]live [D]
[D]Still a[Bm]live
[D]Still a[Bm]live

Before each chord with an asterisk (*), it adds a good effect if you strum open once
the chord before the asterisk chord, which will be either a Dm or an Am depending on the version.
