Verse
—————

(I make no attempt to tab the riffs being played on a lead guitar behind 
this. I'll leave that someone more qualified to pick it out!)

    F        G             Am                    F   
The sun got stuck, as it's making it's way back down,
    F        G            Am              F
We find ourselves, in a familiar part of town
               Am                     G        F
And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you

Chorus
——————
           C                           G
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
          Am                  F
Tell the sun to start moving again,
           C                        G   
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
         Am                   F
And I'll take you there with me

Verse 2
———————
    F            G           Am                   F
My head crashed down, and conditioned myself to sleep,
     F           G                Am                    F
The great night out, that will continue to the end of the week
               Am                     G        F
And all that I've seen means nothing to me without you


Chorus
——————
           C                           G
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
          Am                  F
Tell the sun to start moving again,
           C                        G   
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
         Am                   F
And I'll take you there with me


Bridge
——————
      Am           G
It's you and me connected to a satellite
      F         G
It's you and me love through a machine
      Am           G
It's you and me connected to a satellite
      F         G
It's you and me love through a machine


Chorus
——————
           C                           G
So when I see you next we'll make the most of it,
          Am                  F
Tell the sun to start moving again,
           C                        G   
The taste of your kiss I still got on my lips,
         Am                   F
And I'll take you there with me

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! 🎸
