Taken For A Ride Tab

by Tally Hall


Verse 1:

                          
Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly
                             
"Am I happy?....Is this happy?"
                          
Following the footsteps set by man he said to reprimand
                         
the mystic, Who's sadistic
                     
Took a step into the elevaaaator 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


Prechorus:

*   *     *      *       *      
    *    *
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Verse 2:

                              
Next the stranded senate from 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"


Prechorus:

*   *     *      *       *      
    *    *
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
    Db          Ab      Db                Cmaj7--Em--Ab--Eb--Bb
far   away from you No longer left inside


Verse 3:

                                   
the actor with his world renowned 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
                            
its 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


Prechorus:

*   *     *      *       *      
    *    *  *
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Chorus(2x):

                                
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
    Db         Ab      Ab/G             (Ab--Bb--Db...2x)
far  away from you No longer left inside

End Verse:

                            Ab--Bb--Db
there're no secrets in the door
                      Ab--Bb--Db
just a moment doing chores
                                    
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


*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.
