The Happy Nihilist
The Classic Crime
Intro
Abm Eb/G B Dbm
I am a happy nihilist, no absolute truth does exist
Abm Eb/G B
When I decide to shake my fist, I only got myself to blame
Dbm
Cause we’re all players and life's the game
Verse
Abm
I only take what I need, I am so light on my feet
Eb/G
I will not stop or concede, I am not driven by greed
B
No moral compass for me, it's all just natural feelings
Dbm
Existence has no meaning, there's no such thing as happy
Abm
But late at night when I sleep, I dream of more than I see
Eb/G
There's something burning in me, a driving need to be free,
B
Why do I sit here and think about the things that I need?
Dbm
There's nothing left to believe, oh is it all just a dream?
Abm(Ab)Abm(Gb)Abm (E) Abm (Eb)
Abm
Chorus
E B
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
Abm Eb
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
E B
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf
Abm Eb
But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else
Verse
Abm Eb/G
I used to read everything, I used to need nothing
B Dbm
I put my money on me, I used to be something
Abm Eb/G B Dbm
Now I can’t sleep, cause I’m not happy

But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else
Bridge
Abm B Eb E
Whoa oh oh...
Abm
Why am I haunted by the metaphysical?
B
Is it a cosmic lie or is it literal?
Eb
The books I read that used to free my mind
E
Have made me more blind but the truth I’ll find it
Abm Eb/G
I was a happy nihilist
B Dbm
Now I’m wondering why I exist
Abm(Ab)Abm(Gb)
Chorus
E B
I’ve taught this to myself, piled books up on the shelf

But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me

But it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me
E Abm(Ab)Abm(Gb) Abm
Whoa oh oh...
