This song is REALLY fast but REALLY good! I used the chords Hank posted on the video but I added all of the lyrics and also he forgot to mention the capo... I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, you can email me at [email protected]
          C         F      G            C
Yes, it's true that I once went through life

     C              F            G         C
As a guy who always had to rhyme life with strife

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

               C                Am
And through it all, yes, I have learned

             F                 F
That love is not about whether you get stabbed

        F                    G
But how slow the knife gets turned

       F                     F
But my friends I've found an animal

    F                 F
Who doesn't feel this pain

       F               F
And my life is so much better 

         F              G
Now that I can feel the same

            C              F
Because you can't hate the night

          G
If you've lived your whole life without light

        C              F
And you can't hate the dish

          G
If you've only ever eaten fish

        C          F
And you can't feel alone

        G               C
If it's all you've ever known

          F              F
Yeah, the deep sea anglerfish

       F            F
Has no reason to be happy

       C               F
But it has no frikkin' idea

F            C
What else to be

C                     F
The deep sea dwelling anglerfish

      G             C
Never has to find a mate

         C            F
They are always there together

          G             C
When it's time to procreate

    F                 G
See one dark night, a young male

          C             Am
Bites the female on her side

         F           F
And then slowly he becomes

           F          G
A sperm-producing parasite

       F             F
And if we can say he lives at all

   F               F
He lives until she dies

      F               F
And until that day he literally

F                G
Never leaves her side

             C              F
Yeah, you can't hate the night

          G
If you've lived your whole life without light

        C              F
And you can't hate the dish

          G
If you've only ever eaten fish

        C          F
And you can't feel alone

        G               C
If it's all you've ever known

          F              F
Yeah, the deep sea anglerfish

       F            F
Has no reason to be happy

       G               C
But it has no frikkin' idea

F            C
What else to be

    C                   F
For years this rule has kept me

       G        C
Out of hopeless despair

    C             F
You simply do not feel

        G      C
What is always there

  F               G
I ask my brain to entertain

     C           Am
That pain is the same

          F               F
That if I feel it all the time

        F              G
Can you really call it pain

  F              F
I don't have any friends

      F              F
And I don't have any hair

    F                F
But neither does the anglerfish

    F           G
And she doesn't care

            C              F
Because you can't hate the night

          G
If you've lived your whole life without light

        C              F
And you can't hate the dish

          G
If you've only ever eaten fish

        C          F
And you can't feel alone

        G               C
If it's all you've ever known

          F              F
Yeah, the deep sea anglerfish

       F            F
Has no reason to be happy

       G               C
But she has no frikkin' idea

F            C
What else to be
