Hank Green

hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, you can email me at

Capo 3rd Fret
D C D D
Yes it's true that I once went through life
D C D D
As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife
C D
Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned
D Em
And through it all, yes, I have learned
C C
That love is not about whether you get stabbed
C D
But how slow the knife gets turned
C C
But my friends I've found an animal
C C
Who doesn't feel this pain
C C
And my life is so much better
C D
Now that I can feel the same
D C
Because you can't hate the night
D
If you've lived your whole life without light
D C
And you can't hate the dish
D
If you've only ever eaten fish
D C
And you can't feel alone
D D
If it's all you've ever known
C C
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
C C
Has no reason to be happy
D D
But it has no frikkin' idea
C D
What else to be
D C
The deep sea dwelling anglerfish
D D
Never has to find a mate
D C
They are always there together
D C
When it's time to procreate
C D
See one dark night, a young male
D Em
Bites the female on her side
C C
And then slowly he becomes
C D
A sperm-producing parasite
C C
And if we can say he lives at all
C C
He lives until she dies
C C
And until that day he literally
C D
Never leaves her side
D C
Yeah you can't hate the night
D
If you've lived your whole life without light
D C
And you can't hate the dish
D
If you've only ever eaten fish
D C
And you can't feel alone
D D
If it's all you've ever known
C C
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
C C
Has no reason to be happy
D D
But it has no frikkin' idea
C D
What else to be
D C
For years this rule has kept me
D D
Out of hopeless despair
D C
You simply do not feel
D D
What is always there
C D
I ask my brain to entertain
D Em
That pain is the same
C C
That if I feel it all the time
C D
Can you really call it pain
C C
I don't have any friends
C C
And I don't have any hair
C C
But neither does the anglerfish
C D
And she doesn't care
D C
Because you can't hate the night
D
If you've lived your whole life without light
D C
And you can't hate the dish
D
If you've only ever eaten fish
D C
And you can't feel alone
D D
If it's all you've ever known
C C
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish
C C
Has no reason to be happy
D D
But she has no frikkin' idea
C D
What else to be
