Chords with lyrics

Jason Mraz - Wordplay

Intro: G+G - C9C9 - D MajorD (x2)
Leave the high E MajorE string open on all three chords

Verse: E minorEm G+G Am7Am7

     E minorEm
I've been all around the world
      G+G
I've been a new sensation
     Am7Am7
But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation

The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said they knew my scene
Cause they need a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division someone do the math
The record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure

Pre-chorus:
   E minorEm     G+G
So I drop my top mix and I mingle
  Am7Am7
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Chorus:
G+G   C9C9  D MajorD
Ah la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I lay
Ah la la la love...it's all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
D MajorD
The wonderful thing it does because because
E minorEm              D/F#D/F#
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
     C9C9
Yeah the Mr. A augmentedA to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay


Verse 2:
And it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble
When the music's making people tongue-tied
You want a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from going under

Pre-chorus 2:
E minorEm
Pull out the stops
(no chord)
Got your attention
Am7Am7
I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay... (Chorus)

Bridge:
A minorAm
Oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness
            BB
It always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going
    E5E5               D5D5             C5C5
Oh the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and I'm curving till I'm
out of air
A minorAm
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
BB
Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Chorus: (just guitar)
G+G   C9C9  D MajorD
Ah la la la love
Listen closer to the words I say
Ah la la love
We're sticking to the wordplay
Ah la la la love
The wonderful thing it does because because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
Yeah the Mr. A augmentedA to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay


Final Chorus: (full band)
G+G   C9C9  D MajorD
Ah la la la love
I'm all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
Sticking with the wordplay
Ah la la la love
I love the wonderful thing it does because because of my ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
back in love
With the Mr. A augmentedA to Z they say is all about the wordplay
