[Lyrics]
We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We're lost in music

Have you ever seen some people lose everything
First to go is their mind
Responsibility to me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time, uh-huh
I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans
Yes, I call that temptation
Give me the melody that's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap
No turnin' back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine to five
We're lost in music

Mmm, hmm, in the spotlight the band plays so very tight
Each and every night, uh-huh
It's not vanity to me, it's my sanity
I could never survive
Some people ask me "What are you gonna be?
Why don't you go get a job?" uh-uh
All that I could say "I won't give up my music"
Not me, not now, no way, no how, oh

We're lost in music
Caught in a trap (Caught up in our music)
No turnin' back (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We're lost in music
We're lost in music (Don't take our away our music)
Feel so alive (Feel)
I quit (I quit) my nine to five (Yeah)
We're lost in music

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).
