My Show
Nothing To Gain
2/27/04
CHORUS:            The pictures on the wall are fading 
and I cant seem to find the right words 
to say to you.  The wind is blowing through
the cracks in the wall just the like bends and
breaks in our life. How can you stand
to look down the road remembering
the town that was once there.
Everything is gone yet you find one last
way to make me say to you.

VERSE II:             Cant you see ..
this is my life..
My show.
and you cant change me.

And if you dont understand
its ok
because its a complicated matter
that would take years to explain

this is why my thoughts are spread across
large plain that is hidden away
Found in a few small boxes
under a lonely tree

But now a part of you has died in me
theres nothing for me for me to fear
Nothing for me to hear 
Theres Nothing.. for. me..to hide away.

INTERLUDE:             Palm Mute no singing

CHORUS II:             And the Screams that night shook the walls
I think everyone in town decide to move out
the fight could have waged a war
a war between two that would last for days

EVERYONE STOPS PLAYING A SECOND

And I cant begin to say
How everything had changed.
You tried to make me someone else.
I told you it was my show that day
INTRO:(No Singing)

VERSE III:            The times have changed 
and the past has faded away.
Yet you still think about me everyday
All I can say is the memories of you
have been lost

Lost inside my hopes and dreams
What can I say.
You pushed me away.
It was my life
My show
And you tried to change it that day

Now I have nothing
Nothing for me for me to fear.
Nothing for me to hear
Theres nothing for me to hide away
Nothing for 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! 🎸
