The Classic Crime - The Happy Nihilist
Tuning: Half Step Down

Am (x02210@1)           E (022100@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)                    F (133211@1)      (G)
I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist
Am (x02210@1)                       E (022100@1)   Dm (xx0231@1)                 
When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame
FCause (133211@1)we're all players and life's the game

AmI (x02210@1)only take what I need, I am so light on my feet
EI (022100@1)will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed
DmNo (xx0231@1)moral compass for me, it's all just natural feelings
FExistence (133211@1)has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy
AmBut (x02210@1)late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see
EThere's (022100@1)something burning in me, a driving need to be free,
DmWhy (xx0231@1)do I sit here and think about the things that I need?
FThere's (133211@1)nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream?

F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)I've taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
Am (x02210@1)                             GBut (320003@1)it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)I've taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
Am (x02210@1)                             GBut (320003@1)it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else 

Am (x02210@1)                        EI (022100@1)used to read everything, I used to need nothing
Dm (xx0231@1)                  F (133211@1) 
I put my money on me, I used to be something
Am (x02210@1)         E (022100@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)          FNow (133211@1)I can't sleep, cause I'm not happy

Am C E F
Whoa oh oh...
Am (x02210@1)        
Why am I haunted by the metaphysical?
CIs (x32010@1)it a cosmic lie or is it literal?
EThe (022100@1)books I read that used to free my mind
      FHave (133211@1)made me more blind but the truth I'll find it
Am (x02210@1)            EI (022100@1)was a happy nihilist
Dm (xx0231@1)                      FNow (133211@1)I'm wondering why I exist

Am C Am F
