The other bass tab out there has all the right notes, but this one has the distinctions on pitch.
Octaves are important in this song, as there are literally just four notes in the whole song.

What I'm searching for
To tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall
Walking by myself
Down avenues that reek of time to kill

If you see me, keep going
Be a pass-by waver
Build me up, bring me down
Just leave me out, you name-dropper
Stop trying to catch my eye
I see you good, you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy, you fast-talker

I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
What am I here for?
I left my home to disappear is all

Fit in so good the hope is
That you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert, an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
A face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself an innovator

I want to get up out of my skin

I'm-a make this, something worth dreaming of
