The Happy Nihilist

the classic crime - the happy nihilist tuning : half step down Am E Dm F ( G ) i Am a happy nihilist , no absolute truth does exist Am E Dm when i decide to shake my fist , i only got myself to blame F cause were all players and life’s the game Am i only take what i need , i Am so light on my feet E i will not stop or concede , i Am not driven by greed Dm no moral compass for me , it’s all just natural feelings F existence has no meaning , there’s no such thing as happy Am but late at night when i sleep , i dream of more than i see E there’s something burning in me , a driving need to be free , Dm why do i sit here and think about the things that i need? F there’s nothing left to believe , oh is it all just a dream? Am C Am F 2x Am F C ive taught this to myself , piled books up on the shelf Am G but it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me F C ive taught this to myself , piled books up on the shelf Am G but it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else Am E i used to read everything , i used to need nothing Dm F i put my money on me , i used to be something Am E Dm F now i cant sleep , cause im not happy Am C Am F 2x Am F C ive taught this to myself , piled books up on the shelf Am G but it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me F C ive taught this to myself , piled books up on the shelf Am G F but it still hurts like hell to trust nobody else but me Am C E F whoa oh oh . . . Am why Am i haunted by the metaphysical? C is it a cosmic lie or is it literal? E the books i read that used to free my mind F have made me more blind but the truth ill find it Am E i was a happy nihilist Dm F now im wondering why i exist Am C Am F Chorus
