Capo 3rd Fret

C majorC     FF   G+G      C majorC
 Yes it's true that I once went through life
   C majorC       FF      G+G     C majorC
 As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
        FF          G+G
 Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned
        C majorC        A minorAm
 And through it all, yes, I have learned
       FF         FF
 That love is not about whether you get stabbed
     FF          G+G
 But how slow the knife gets turned

FF           FF
 But my friends I've found an animal
   FF         FF
 Who doesn't feel this pain
    FF        FF
 And my life is so much better
     FF       G+G
 Now that I can feel the same

C majorC       FF
 Because you can't hate the night
      G+G
 If you've lived your whole life without light
     C majorC       FF
 And you can't hate the dish
      G+G
 If you've only ever eaten fish
     C majorC     FF
 And you can't feel alone
     G+G        C majorC
 If it's all you've ever known

FF       FF
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
    FF      FF
 Has no reason to be happy
    G+G        C majorC
 But it has no frikkin' idea
 FF      C majorC
 What else to be

C majorC           FF
 The deep sea dwelling anglerfish
    G+G       C majorC
 Never has to find a mate
     C majorC      FF
 They are always there together
      G+G       FF
 When it's time to procreate

FF         G+G
 See one dark night, a young male
      C majorC       A minorAm
 Bites the female on her side
     FF      FF
 And then slowly he becomes
      FF     G+G
 A augmentedA sperm-producing parasite

FF       FF
 And if we can say he lives at all
  FF        FF
 He lives until she dies
    FF        FF
 And until that day he literally
 FF        G+G
 Never leaves her side

C majorC       FF
 Yeah you can't hate the night
      G+G
 If you've lived your whole life without light
     C majorC       FF
 And you can't hate the dish
      G+G
 If you've only ever eaten fish
     C majorC     FF
 And you can't feel alone
     G+G        C majorC
 If it's all you've ever known

FF       FF
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
    FF      FF
 Has no reason to be happy
    G+G        C majorC
 But it has no frikkin' idea
 FF      C majorC
 What else to be

C majorC          FF
 For years this rule has kept me
    G+G    C majorC
 Out of hopeless despair
   C majorC       FF
 You simply do not feel
     G+G   C majorC
 What is always there

FF        G+G
 I ask my brain to entertain
   C majorC      A minorAm
 That pain is the same
      FF        FF
 That if I feel it all the time
     FF       G+G
 Can you really call it pain

FF       FF
 I don't have any friends
    FF       FF
 And I don't have any hair
   FF        FF
 But neither does the anglerfish
   FF      G+G
 And she doesn't care

C majorC       FF
 Because you can't hate the night
      G+G
 If you've lived your whole life without light
     C majorC       FF
 And you can't hate the dish
      G+G
 If you've only ever eaten fish
     C majorC     FF
 And you can't feel alone
     G+G        C majorC
 If it's all you've ever known

FF       FF
 Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
    FF      FF
 Has no reason to be happy
    G+G        C majorC
 But she has no frikkin' idea
 FF      C majorC
 What else to be
