Verse - So hello where are we today
        Still fighting, still running in place
        And now the outline of this lake
        Seems to be pointing me away
        Honestly, I’ve never lied more
        To myself all over the floor
        Right through my teeth I’ve showed you
        Just how weak my knees can get

Verse - So now it’s up to me to wait
        I need you to reciprocate
        My heart is ticking like a box
        Sent to me by anonymous
        And now I’m scared to open it
        I’m always blowing up to bits
        I’m always running out of lives
        Running out of time

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.

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).
