Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

[Intro] E..
E
You’ve got the best of both worlds

Abm Gbm
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man

A B
And lift him back up again

E
You are strong but you’re needy

Abm
Humble but you’re greedy

Gbm
Based on your body language

A B
Your shouted cursive I’ve been reading

E
You’re style is quite selective

Abm
Though your mind is rather reckless

Gbm
Well I guess it just suggests

A B
That this is just what happiness is


[Bridge]

A B
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
A B
It’s like picking up trash in dresses


[Chorus]

E Abm
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write

Gbm A B
Kind of turn themselves into knives

E Abm
And don’t mind my nerve, you can call it fiction

Gbm A B Gb
Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear

A G A E
Cause here we are, here we are


E Abm
Although you were biased, I love your advice

Gbm
Your comebacks they’re quick

A B
And probably have to do with your insecurities

E
There’s no shame in being crazy

Abm
Depending on how you take these

Gbm A B
Words they’re paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging


[Bridge]

A B
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

A B
It’s like picking up trash in dresses


[Chorus]

E Abm
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say

Gbm A B
Kind of turn themselves into blades

E Abm
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard

Gbm A B
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt

A Gb A E
‘Cause here we are, here we are

E Ab Gb A B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are

E Ab Gb A B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, we’re still here


[Bridge]

A B
And what a beautiful mess this is

A B
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes


[Chorus]

E Abm
And through timeless words and priceless pictures

Gbm A B
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth

E Abm
And tides they turn, hearts disfigure

Gbm A B
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together

E Abm
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts

Gbm A B
But it’s nice today, all the wait was so worth it.

G B
But sugar don't forget what you already know

Em

C
We could be the talk across the town

Am7
Don't judge me by the colour, confuse it for another

G D
You might regret what you let slip away

Em C
Like the geek in the pink

Am7 G B
Like the geek in the pink


Em
Well my relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody

C
But cupid's automatic must of fired multiple shots at her

Am7
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter

G D
At least I talk about it keep a pattern of flattery


Em
She was staring through the doorframe

C
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend

C Em
Well, I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums

G B
Who wouldn't care if you complete them or not


Em
So what I've got a short attention span a coke in my hand

C
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand

Am7
My hip-hop and flip-flops, well it don't stop with the light rock

G D
My shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot

Em
The hype is nothing more than hoo-hah

C
So I'm developing a language and I'm calling it my own

Am7 G
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean

D
That on the other side the grass is greener


[Chorus]

Em C
I don't care what you might think about me

Am7 G B
You get by without me if you want

Em
I could be the one to take you home

C
Baby I could rock the night alone

Am7
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down

G B
But sugar don't forget what you already know

Em
That I could be the one to turn you out

C
We could be the talk across the town

Am7
Don't judge me by the colour, confuse it for another

G D
You might regret what you let slip away


Em C

Jason Mraz - Please Don't Tell Her

[Intro]~
~C ~Am ~Em ~F ~G


                     ~C
I hear she's kicking ass across the board

                                                               ~Am
And rocked two hundred thousand highest score

                                                                             ~Em
And just in time to save the world of being taken over

       ~F              ~G
She's a warrior

                     ~C
I couldn't play again because the game it never ended

                     ~Am
Never even landed on the cannon

                                                 ~Em
Never let me in to spend my quarter

              ~F              ~G              ~Dm
There's no love for me no more


                                   ~G                            ~Em
Oh say that it isn't so how she easily come

                     ~Am                                   ~Dm
How she easily go please don't tell her

                                          ~G
That i've been meaning to miss her

              ~C
Because i don't.


[intro]~
~Am ~Em ~F ~G


                     ~C
She was the girl with the broader shoulders

                     ~Am                                   ~Em
But she would die before i crawled over them

              ~F              ~G
She is taller than i am

       ~C
She knew i wouldn't mind the view there

              ~Am                                   ~Em
Or the altitude with a mouthful of air

                                          ~F
She let me down the doubt came out

              ~G                     ~Dm
Until the now became later


                                   ~G                     ~Em
Oh say that it isn't so how she easily come

                     ~Am                            ~Dm
How she easily go please don't tell her

                                          ~G
Cause she don't really need to know


[chorus]~
       ~C              ~Am              ~Em       ~F       ~G
That i'm crazy like the rest of us

       ~C                     ~Am              ~Em       ~F       ~G
And i'm crazier when i'm next to her


[intro]~
~C ~Am ~Em ~F ~G


~C
So why after the all of everything that came and went

              ~Am
I care enough to still be singing 'bout the bitter end

              ~Em              ~F                     ~G
Of broken eras, i told you i don't

                     ~C
But i Am only trying to be the best

                                                        ~Am
With my attempt to curse the rest assured
I'll aim to ease the plural hurts of the words

~Em                     ~F       ~G
Reverse psychology


              ~Dm              ~G              ~Em              ~Am
That's...easier said. Easier than done

                     ~Dm                                          ~G
Please don't dare to tell her what i've become

                     ~Em                            ~Am
Please don't mention of the attention i have drawn

                     ~Dm                                          ~G
Please don't bother cause she'll feel guilty when i'm gone


[chorus]~
       ~C              ~Am                     ~Em       ~F       ~G
Because i'm crazy like the rest of us

                     ~C              ~Am              ~Em       ~F       ~G
And then i'm crazier when i'm next to her

              ~C              ~Am              ~Em       ~F       ~G
It's amazing how she's so self-assured

              ~C                                          ~Am
But i know she'd hate me if she knew my words

              ~Em                            ~F              ~G              ~C
Do i hurt anymore? Do i hurt? Well, i don't

~Am       ~Em              ~C
I don't i don't

Jason Mraz - Wordplay

[Intro]~
~G ~C ~D ~G ~C ~D

                  ~Em
I've been all around the world

                              ~D
I've been a new sensation

                  ~C
But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation

                  ~Em                              ~D
The sophmore slump is an uphill battle

                  ~C
And someone said they knew my scene

                                                ~Em
Cause they need a new song like a new religion


      ~D
Music for the television

      ~C
I can't do the long division.. Someone do the math

      ~Em
'Fore the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer

      ~C
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure

            ~Em
So i drop my top

      ~D
Mix and i mingle

            ~C                        ~D
Is everybody ready for the single.. And it goes


[chorus]~
~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
Now listen closely to the verse i lay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
It's all about the wordplay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
The wonderful thing it does because

~Em                                                                        ~D
Because i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's

                  ~C                                    ~D
Yea the mr. A to z they say i'm all about the wordplay

~G ~C ~D

                                          ~Em
And it's time to get ill i got your remedy

                  ~D
For those who don't remember me

                  ~C
Well let me introduce you to my style

                  ~Em                                          ~D
I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble

                              ~C
When the music's making people tongue-tied

                                    ~Em
You want a new song like a new religion


      ~D
Music for the television

      ~C
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math

                  ~Em                                                ~D
For the people write me off like i'm a one hit wonder

      ~C
Gotta find another way to keep from going under

      ~Em            ~D
Pull out the stops
Got your attention

                  ~C                                                ~D
I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay


[chorus]~
~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
Now listen closely to the verse i lay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love

                  ~C                                    ~D
Yea the mr. A to z they say i'm all about the wordplay


[bridge]~
            ~D
Oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness

                                    ~Bm
It always seems to be a flowing
But i don't know which way my brain is going

      ~Em
Oh the remedy, the time it kicks

      ~D
The melodies inside me

                  ~C
And i'm curving till i'm running out of air

                  ~D
Are you prepared to take a dive
Into the deep end of my head

      ~Bm
Are you listening to a single word i've said


[chorus]~
~G      ~C            ~D
Ah la la la love
Listen closer to the words i say

~G      ~C            ~D
Ah la la la love
We're sticking to the wordplay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ah la la la love
The wonderful thing it does because

~Em                                                      ~D
Because i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's

                  ~C
Yea the mr. A to z they say i'm all about the wordplay


~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
I'm all about the wordplay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
Sticking with the wordplay

~G      ~C            ~D
Ha la la la love
I love the wonderful thing it does because

~Em                              ~D
Because of my ooh's and ah's
And fa la la's fall back in love

                  ~C
With the mr. A to z they say is all about the wordplay

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

[Intro]~
~A


     ~G               ~D
When I look into your eyes

     ~G               ~D
It's like watching the night sky

     ~G               ~D
Or a beautiful sunrise

     ~A
There's so much they hold

     ~G               ~D
And just like them old stars

     ~G               ~D
I see that you've come so far

     ~G               ~D
To be right where you are

     ~A
How old is your soul?


[Chorus]~
          ~G          ~D
I won't give up on us

          ~Em               ~A
Even if the skies get rough

          ~G               ~D
I'm giving you all my love

          ~A
I'm still looking up


     ~G                    ~D
And when you're needing your space

     ~G               ~D
To do some navigating

     ~G                    ~D
I'll be here patiently waiting

     ~A
To see what you find


[Chorus]~
          ~G               ~D
Cause even the stars they burn

          ~Em               ~A
Some even fall to the earth

          ~G               ~D
We've got a lot to learn

          ~A
God knows we're worth it

          ~G
No, I won't give up


[Bridge]~
~Em
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

          ~A
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make

~Em
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use

          ~A
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake

          ~C
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

~A
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in

~C
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not

     ~A
And who I am


[Chorus]~
     ~G               ~D
I won't give up on us

          ~Em               ~A
Even if the skies get rough

          ~G               ~D
I'm giving you all my love

          ~A
I'm still looking up (I'm still looking up)


     ~G                         ~D
Well, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)

     ~Em                         ~A
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)

     ~G                    ~D
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)

     ~A
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

     ~G          ~D
I won't give up on us

     ~Em               ~A
Even if the skies get rough

     ~G               ~D
I'm giving you all my love

     ~A
I'm still looking up

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours

'Cause our time is short

this is our fate I'm yours
