Tuning: Half Step Down

A5             E5       D5                      F5        ( G5 )
I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist
A5                         E5     D5                   
When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame
F5
Cause we?re all players and life's the game

A5
I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet
E5
I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed
D5
No moral compass for me, it's all just natural feelings
F5
Existence has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy
A5
But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see
E5
There's something burning in me, a driving need to be free,
D5
Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need?
F5
There's nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream?

A5 C5 A5 F5 2x A5

F5                            C5 
I?ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A5                               G5
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
F5                            C5 
I?ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A5                               G5
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else 

A5                          E5
I used to read everything, I used to need nothing
D5                    F5   
I put my money on me, I used to be something
A5           E5       D5            F5
Now I can?t sleep, cause I?m not happy

A5 C5 A5 F5 2x A5

F5                            C5 
I?ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A5                               G5
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
F5                            C5 
I?ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
A5                               G5                     F5
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me

A5 C5 E5 F5
Whoa oh oh...
A5          
Why am I haunted by the metaphysical?
C5
Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal?
E5
The books I read that used to free my mind
      F5
Have made me more blind but the truth I?ll find it
A5              E5
I was a happy nihilist
D5                        F5
Now I?m wondering why I exist

A5 C5 A5 F5
