Please, mom You ground me all the time 
I know that I was right All along 
And I'm hoping Remember I'm a kid 
I know not what I did Just having fun 

You couldn't wait for something new 
And yesterday I thought of you 
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away 
It's too late, I fell through 

Nothing to lose 
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores 
Nothing to do 
They can't trust me because I blew it once before 

***, dad Please don't kick my ass 
I know I've seen you trash At least one time 
Can I blame it On one of my dumb friends 
It's been awhile Since I have used that line 

You couldn't wait for something new 
And yesterday I thought of you 
It left me to think as if I couldn't walk away 
It's too late, I fell through 

Nothing to lose 
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores 
Nothing to do 
They can't trust me because I blew it once before 

(Break)ALL RIGHT!

Nothing to lose 
A boy who went out when he finished all his chores 
Nothing to do 
They can't trust me because I blew it once before

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
