Wordplay chords by Jason Mraz

Jason Mraz - Wordplay

Intro: G - C9 - D (x2)
Leave the high E string open on all three chords

Verse:  Em G Am7

          Em
I've been all around the world
            G
I've been a new sensation
          Am7
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:
     Em          G
So I drop my top mix and I mingle
   Am7
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...


Chorus:
G     C9    D
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
The wonderful thing it does because because
Em                           D/F#
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
         C9
Yeah the Mr. A 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:
Em
Pull out the stops
(no chord)
Got your attention
Am7
I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay... (Chorus)

Bridge:
Am
Oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness
                        B
It always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going
       E5                             D5                         C5
Oh the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and I'm curving till I'm
out of air
Am
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
B
Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Chorus:  (just guitar)
G     C9    D
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 to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay


Final Chorus: (full band)
G     C9    D
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 to Z they say is all about the wordplay
