Half Of My Heart tab by John Mayer

Song: Half Of My Heart
Artist: John Mayer
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Tabbed by: Lukeness (bob_joe12@hotmail.com)

Interestingly, he plays with a pick acoustically and strums, while on the electric he
his fingers, getting that Lindsey Buckingham feel. Both sound good. As usual, he adds
fills every time so the tab will be main meat and potatoes of the song. And trust me, he
use his thumb for the main part, but as the song goes on he might add some more strings.

Main Part/Verse/Chorus:

e|--(1)-----(0)------|
B|---1---1---1---1---|
G|---3---2---0---2---|
D|---3---3---2---3---|
A|----------(3)------|
E|------(1)-----(1)--|

Pre-Chorus: (then you come..., lonely was the song...)

e|--------------------------|-----------------|
B|---1-----1-----1-----1----|---1----1----1---|
G|---3-----2-----0-----2----|---3----2----0---|  then:
D|---3-----3-----2-----3----|---3----3----2---|
A|---------x----(0)----x----|--------x----0---|
E|---------1-----------1----|--------1--------|

e|---1---|
B|---1---|
G|---3---| (or arpeggiate it)
D|---3---|
A|-------|
E|-------|


Chorus:
See Above. Then:

e|--1--|
B|--1--|
G|--3--|
D|--3--|
A|-----|
E|-----|


Post Chorus: (than half of my heart...) play these chords quickly

e|--x--x--5--1--|
B|--1--5--6--1--|
G|--2--5--5--3--| x2 then back to verse
D|--3--5--7--3--|

B|--1---1---4---3---|
G|--2---0---3---3---| x2

E|--1-----------3---|


Then:

Go back to the chorus and fade out while he rambles on.
Thanks for using this tab and feel free to correct any mistakes.

Lyrics:
I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
then you come crashing in, like the realest thing
trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself
lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came
showing me another way and all that my love can bring

oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
half of my heart takes time
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)
oh with half of my heart
with half of my heart

your faith is strong
but I can only fall short for so long
down the road, later on
you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart
but I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
with half of my...

half of my heart
oh half of my heart

half of my heart's got a real good imagination
half of my heart's got you
half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
that half of my heart won't do

half of my heart is a shot gun wedding to a bride with a paper ring
and half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything

half of my heart, oh half of my heart
half of my heart, oh half of my heart
half of my heart, oh half of my heart
half of my heart...
