Verse 1:

Cmaj7                          Em
Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly
       Ab                Eb      Bb
"Am I happy?....Is this happy?"
Cmaj7                          Em
Following the footsteps set by man he said to reprimand
     Ab              Eb      Bb
the mystic, Who's sadistic
Cmaj7                     Em
Took a step into the elevaaaator who said,
                     Ab               Eb      Bb
"Guess I'll see you later, don't you worry."
Cmaj7                                   Em
Fifteen flights that lasted nights and days that spent
                     Ab                   Eb         Bb
without a cent for creatures, with their beat shirts


Prechorus:

Bb*   C*     Bb*      Ab*       Bb*      
    Bb*    Ab*
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Verse 2:

Cmaj7                              Em
Next the stranded senate from the white brick house with flowers
            Ab                   Eb    Bb
asked some questions for their story
    Cmaj7                            Em
All feeling now he took his bow and left the stage of time
        Ab             Eb       Bb
with no answers to no questions
Cmaj7                          Em
Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling
       Ab                Eb     Bb
to implode them, before living
Cmaj7                             Em
Tiptoed to that wooden sign that said,
                                  Ab             Eb     Bb
"now take your place in line for happy, this is lovely"


Prechorus:

Bb*   C*     Bb*      Ab*       Bb*      
    Bb*    Ab*
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Chorus:

F    C         Dm      Db             Ab
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    Db           Ab      Ab/G**       F
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C           Dm   Db          Ab
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:

    Cmaj7                               Em
the actor with his world renowned was thinking
                            Ab             Eb     Bb
'bout his last real day of silence, was it over?
   Cmaj7                              Em
or  is  it just we all think that our answer isn't real
            Ab           Eb     Bb
its just a picture of a letter
Cmaj7                             Em
bumble mumble make the rounds no matter what you'll seem profound
      Ab              Eb     Bb
it's useless just to worry
Cmaj7                              Em
something normal happens somewhere far away in clouds
                Ab               Eb     Bb
so please stop thinking this is happy


Prechorus:

Bb*   C*     Bb*      Ab*       Bb*      
    Bb*    Eb*  E*
Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill


Chorus(2x):

F    C         Dm      Db             Ab
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    Db           Ab      Ab/G         F
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C           Dm   Db          Ab
the chemistry is gone taken for a ride
    Db         Ab      Ab/G          F
far  away from you No longer left inside


     C         Dm      Db             Ab
One secondary smile to go that extra mile
    Db           Ab      Ab/G         F
to make me feel today to make it go away
      C           Dm   Db          Ab
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
                                    Ab
and there's something, and there's something
             Bb                    Db
and there's something and there's something next to nothing
             Ab                    Bb
and there's something and there's something
            Db
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.
