Verse 1:

C5                          E5
Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly
       Ab5                Eb5      Bb5
"Am I happy?....Is this happy?"
C5                          E5
Following the footsteps set by man he said to reprimand
     Ab5              Eb5      Bb5
the mystic, Who's sadistic
C5                     E5
Took a step into the elevaaaator who said,
                     Ab5               Eb5      Bb5
"Guess I'll see you later, don't you worry."
C5                                   E5
Fifteen flights that lasted nights and days that spent
                     Ab5                   Eb5         Bb5
without a cent for creatures, with their beat shirts


Prechorus:

Bb5 *   C5 *     Bb5 *      Ab5 *       Bb5 *      
    Bb5 *    Ab5 *
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Verse 2:

C5                              E5
Next the stranded senate from the white brick house with flowers
            Ab5                   Eb5    Bb5
asked some questions for their story
    C5                            E5
All feeling now he took his bow and left the stage of time
        Ab5             Eb5       Bb5
with no answers to no questions
C5                          E5
Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling
       Ab5                Eb5     Bb5
to implode them , before living
C5                             E5
Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said,
                                  Ab5             Eb5     Bb5
"now take your place in line for happy, this is lovely"


Prechorus:

Bb5 *   C5 *     Bb5 *      Ab5 *       Bb5 *      
    Bb5 *    Ab5 *
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Chorus:

F5    C5         D5      C#5             Ab5
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    C#5           Ab5      Ab5 **       F5
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C5           D5   C#5          Ab5
the chemistry is gone taken for a ride
    Db          Ab      Db                C7M--Em--Ab--Eb--Bb
far   away from you No longer left inside


Verse 3:

    C5                               E5
the actor with his world renowned was thinking
                            Ab5             Eb5     Bb5
'bout his last real day of silence, was it over?
   C5                              E5
or  is  it just we all think that our answer isn't real
            Ab5           Eb5     Bb5
its just a picture of a letter
C5                             E5
bumble mumble make the rounds no matter what you'll seem profound
      Ab5              Eb5     Bb5
it's useless just to worry
C5                              E5
something normal happens somewhere far away in clouds
                Ab5               Eb5     Bb5
so please stop thinking this is happy


Prechorus:

Bb5 *   C5 *     Bb5 *      Ab5 *       Bb5 *      
    Bb5 *    Eb5 *  E5 *
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Chorus(2x):

F5    C5         D5      C#5             Ab5
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    C#5           Ab5      Ab5         F5
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C5           D5   C#5          Ab5
the chemistry is gone taken for a ride
    C#5         Ab5      Ab5          F5
far  away from you No longer left inside


     C5         D5      C#5             Ab5
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    C#5           Ab5      Ab5         F5
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C5           D5   C#5          Ab5
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
                                    Ab5
and there's something, and there's something
             Bb5                    C#5
and there's something and there's something next to nothing
             Ab5                    Bb5
and there's something and there's something
            C#5
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.
