Thanks UncleCrispy for the high quality vids of
Jason Mraz's live performances.

It's not a perfect tab, but it sounds pretty good.
I haven't tabbed all the variations he uses, but
you'll need to listen to the song to get the rhythm
anyway.

Lyrics

[intro]

[verse]

"Well you're magic", he said,
"but don't let it all go to your head
well I bet if you all had it all
figured out then you'd never get out of bed"

[verse]

No doubt of all the things that i've read what he wrote me
it's now sounding like the man I was hoping
to be, a keepin keep it real,
cause it keeps getting easier indeed

[bridge]

he's the reason that i'm laughing
even if there's no one else
he said a, "you've got to love yourself"

[intro]

[verse]

he said,"you shouldn't mumble when you speak,
but keep you tounge up in your cheek
and if you stumble onto you better remember
that it's humble that you seek
you've got all the skill you need
individuality
you've got somethin, call it gumption
call it anything you want"

[bridge]

because when you play the fool now
you're only fooling everyone else
you're learning to love yourself

[verse]
[intro]

[bridge]
there's no price to pay
when you're giving what you take
that's why it's easy to thank you

[verse]
lets say take a break from the day and
gettin back to the old garage
because lifes to short anyway but at least
it's better than average
as long you got me and I got you
you know I got a lot to go around
I'll be your friend, your other brother
another love to come and comfort you

[bridge]
and I'll keep reminding
if it's the only thing i ever do
I will always love,
I will always love you
