Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Half Step Down
A minorAm E MajorE DmDm FF (G+G)
I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist
A minorAm E MajorE DmDm
When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame
FF
Cause we’re all players and life's the game
A minorAm
I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet
E MajorE
I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed
DmDm
No moral compass for me, it's all just natural feelings
FF
Existence has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy
A minorAm
But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see
E MajorE
There's something burning in me, a driving need to be free,
DmDm
Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need?
FF
There's nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream?
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm FF 2x A minorAm
FF C majorC
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A minorAm G+G
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
FF C majorC
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A minorAm G+G
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else
A minorAm E MajorE
I used to read everything, I used to need nothing
DmDm FF
I put my money on me, I used to be something
A minorAm E MajorE DmDm FF
Now I can’t sleep, cause I’m not happy
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm FF 2x A minorAm
FF C majorC
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A minorAm G+G
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
FF C majorC
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A minorAm G+G FF
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
A minorAm C majorC E MajorE FF
Whoa oh oh...
A minorAm
Why am I haunted by the metaphysical?
C majorC
Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal?
E MajorE
The books I read that used to free my mind
FF
Have made me more blind but the truth I’ll find it
A minorAm E MajorE
I was a happy nihilist
DmDm FF
Now I’m wondering why I exist
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm FF
