Chords with lyrics
Jason Mraz
Tabbed by: Josh Larrimore ([email protected])
**Special thanks to Jon Blank for trying to tab this
song first...I just "corrected" (I hope) his
version.
TUNING: Standard EADGBe (no capo)
This is my very first tab attempt...I didn't think
anyone else got it quite right, so this is what
sounds right to me. I've been playing for about a
year now, but I have a very good ear, and I hope this
is right. Please let me know if anything sounds
off...remember that this is off the live acoustic
version.

Cadd9Cadd9
And I'm, I'm over-joyed
G+G
And I'm, I'm over-loved

Who's hiding under cover

Every way to play the part inside this darkened cave

VERSE 2
Cadd9Cadd9
And I've, well I've seen a thousand things in one place
A5A5
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
D MajorD
Erasing memory, well I feel as though I've never seen a face before
Cadd9Cadd9
Until I saw your eyes
D/B
And they're smiling back at me through my tears
A5A5
I've been counting all these years, oh
D MajorD
Suddenly the thousand things I've seen were nothing more than dreams of
Cadd9Cadd9
Of you and me
Cadd9Cadd9
You and me
Cadd9Cadd9
Quietly at a standstill now
Cadd9Cadd9
Fortunately you will, well you'll kiss me, I will
I will kiss you back
BRIDGE
G+G
Oh the fact of the matter is - ooo-lay
G+G
And I don't know what the latter is, oh no way
Cadd9Cadd9
See, I've always wanted to kiss you
G+G
But I, I always wanted to run from you
Cadd9Cadd9
Because I've always wanted to miss you
G+G
And I, I always wanted to comfort you
Cadd9Cadd9
OOoooo - Well I love my comfort foods, you said
D MajorD
While you always say, How do you do?
