Verse 1:
[Cmaj7]Marvin walked into a helpless l[Em]and and wondered lightly
"Am I h[Ab]appy?....Is this h[Eb]appy?"[Bb]
[Cmaj7]Following the footsteps set by [Em]man he said to reprimand
the m[Ab]ystic, Who's sad[Eb]istic[Bb]
[Cmaj7]Took a step into the eleva[Em]aaator who said,
"Guess I'll see you l[Ab]ater, don't you w[Eb]orry."[Bb]
[Cmaj7]Fifteen flights that lasted nights and d[Em]ays that spent
without a cent for cr[Ab]eatures, with their b[Eb]eat shirts[Bb]
Prechorus:
Bb C Bb Ab Bb
Bb Ab
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill
Verse 2:
[Cmaj7]Next the stranded senate from the w[Em]hite brick house with flowers
asked some q[Ab]uestions for their st[Eb]ory[Bb]
All [Cmaj7]feeling now he took his bow and l[Em]eft the stage of time
with no [Ab]answers to no q[Eb]uestions[Bb]
[Cmaj7]Lonely paperbacks that wanted j[Em]ust a taste of feeling
to impl[Ab]ode them, before l[Eb]iving[Bb]
[Cmaj7]Tiptoed to that wooden sign that s[Em]aid,
"now take your place in line for h[Ab]appy, this is l[Eb]ovely"[Bb]
Prechorus:
Bb C Bb Ab Bb
Bb Ab
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill
Chorus:
[F]One s[C]econdary s[Dm]mile to [Db]go that extra m[Ab]ile
Db Ab Ab/G F
to make me feel today to make it go away
the ch[C]emistry is g[Dm]one t[Db]aken for a r[Ab]ide
Db Ab Db Cmaj7--Em--Ab--Eb--Bb
far away from you No longer left inside
Verse 3:
the [Cmaj7]actor with his world renowned was th[Em]inking
'bout his last real day of s[Ab]ilence, was it [Eb]over?[Bb]
or [Cmaj7] is it just we all think that our [Em]answer isn't real
its just a p[Ab]icture of a l[Eb]etter[Bb]
[Cmaj7]bumble mumble make the rounds no m[Em]atter what you'll seem profound
it's u[Ab]seless just to w[Eb]orry[Bb]
[Cmaj7]something normal happens somewhere [Em]far away in clouds
so please stop t[Ab]hinking this is h[Eb]appy[Bb]
Prechorus:
Bb C Bb Ab Bb
Bb Eb E
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill
Chorus(2x):
[F]One s[C]econdary s[Dm]mile to [Db]go that extra m[Ab]ile
to m[Db]ake me feel t[Ab]oday to [Ab/G]make it go aw[F]ay
the ch[C]emistry is g[Dm]one t[Db]aken for a r[Ab]ide
far [Db] away from [Ab]you No l[Ab/G]onger left ins[F]ide
One s[C]econdary s[Dm]mile to [Db]go that extra m[Ab]ile
to m[Db]ake me feel t[Ab]oday to [Ab/G]make it go aw[F]ay
the ch[C]emistry is g[Dm]one t[Db]aken for a r[Ab]ide
Db Ab Ab/G (Ab--Bb--Db...2x)
far away from you No longer left inside
End Verse:
there're no secrets in the d[Ab--Bb--Db]oor
just a moment doing ch[Ab--Bb--Db]ores
and there's something, and there's s[Ab]omething
and there's s[Bb]omething and there's s[Db]omething next to nothing
and there's s[Ab]omething and there's s[Bb]omething
But you're g[Db]one
Really nopt sure at all with that prechorus, I can't figure it out for the life of me.
easier on piano.
Ab/G can also be played just as a Db if you're uneasy about that chord. It sounds fine too.
