Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  Yes it's true that I once went through life

  As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife

  Yes, I've been burned and I've been spurned

  And through it all, yes, I have learned

  That love is not about whether you get stabbed

  But how slow the knife gets turned

  But my friends I've found an animal

  Who doesn't feel this pain

  And my life is so much better

  Now that I can feel the same

  Because you can't hate the night

  If you've lived your whole life without light

  And you can't hate the dish

  If you've only ever eaten fish

  And you can't feel alone

  If it's all you've ever known

  Yeah the deep sea anglerfish

  Has no reason to be happy

  But it has no frikkin' idea

  What else to be

  The deep sea dwelling anglerfish

  Never has to find a mate

  They are always there together

  When it's time to procreate

  See one dark night, a young male

  Bites the female on her side

  And then slowly he becomes

  A sperm-producing parasite

  And if we can say he lives at all

  He lives until she dies

  And until that day he literally

  Never leaves her side

  Yeah you can't hate the night

  If you've lived your whole life without light

  And you can't hate the dish

  If you've only ever eaten fish

  And you can't feel alone

  If it's all you've ever known

  Yeah the deep sea anglerfish

  Has no reason to be happy

  But it has no frikkin' idea

  What else to be

  For years this rule has kept me

  Out of hopeless despair

  You simply do not feel

  What is always there

  I ask my brain to entertain

  That pain is the same

  That if I feel it all the time

  Can you really call it pain

  I don't have any friends

  And I don't have any hair

  But neither does the anglerfish

  And she doesn't care

  Because you can't hate the night

  If you've lived your whole life without light

  And you can't hate the dish

  If you've only ever eaten fish

  And you can't feel alone

  If it's all you've ever known

  Yeah the deep sea anglerfish

  Has no reason to be happy

  But she has no frikkin' idea

  What else to be
