[Verse 1]

Marvin walked into a helpless land

And wondered lightly, "Am I happy?

Is this happy?"

Following the footsteps left by man

He stepped to reprimand the mystic

So sadistic

Took a step into the elevator

Who said, "Guess I'll see you later

Don't you worry"

Fifteen flights that lasted nights

And days that spent without a cent for creatures

With their beat shirts

[Pre-Chorus]

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hill

[Verse 2]

Next the stranded senate of the white brick house

With flowers asked some questions

For their story

All feeling now, he took his bow

And left the stage of time with no answers

To no questions

Lonely paperbacks that wanted

Just a taste of feeling to implode them

Before living

Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said

"Now take your place in line for happy

This is lovely"

[Pre-Chorus]

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hill

[Chorus]

One secondary smile to go that extra mile

To make me feel today, to make it go away

The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride

Far away from you, no longer left inside

[Verse 3]

The actor with his world renown

Was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence

Was it over?

Or is it just we all think that our answer

Isn't real, it's just a picture

Of a letter

Bumble mumble, make the rounds

No matter what, you'll seem profound

It's useless just to worry

Something normal happens somewhere

Far away in clouds so please stop thinking

This is happy

[Pre-Chorus]

Listening to painted whispered

Light on top forgotten hill

[Chorus]

One secondary smile to go that extra mile

To make me feel today, to make it go away

The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride

Far away from you, no longer left inside

One secondary smile to go that extra mile

To make me feel today, to make it go away

The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride

Far away from you, no longer left inside

[Outro]

There're no secrets in the door

Just a moment doing chores (don't look so sad)

And there's something, and there's something

And there's something, and there's something

Next to nothing

And there's something, and there's something

But you're gone

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide

1. Understanding the Basics

a. Strings:

Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar. The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string (usually the G string) is at the top.

b. Numbers:

Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string. For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.

2. Reading Bass Tab Example

In this tab:

Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
Play the open E string.
Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the 1st fret on the A string.

        A|---------3-------|
        E|---1-1---1---3---|

3. Playing Techniques

a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:

Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret). Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).

b. Slides:

Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
