VERSE: These are the chords used, John mayer does different picking patterns; I'll write the most used one. A5sus4-you can slide into it F7M/C e|----x----------------------| |--x------------------------| B|----x----------------------| |--0------------------------| G|----7----------------------| |--0------------------------| D|----7----------------------| |--4------------------------| A|----7----------------------| |--5------------------------| E|--3/5----------------------| |--x------------------------| Variation A There is a slight delay between the sliding base and the strum.

E A D G B e 1 3 3 0 1 x p0 !! At the end of the chorus he strums the F5 chord twice and slides this shape 2 frets up and strums again. !! Bridge: F5 I can tell you this much II will marry just once C And if it doesn't work out Give her half of my stuff A It's fine with me Dsus2/B We said eternity F5 And I will go to my grave With the life that I gave C Not just some melody line On a radio wave A It dissipates Dsus2/B And soon evaporates F5 But home life doesn't change
