Jason Mraz - Zero Percent
F C Dm7
Our friends on the front porch telling jokes and they swing
A#
Swiftly towards happier times
F C Dm7
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
A#
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
F C Dm7 A#
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see the monsters rise
F C Dm7
Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams living high on
A#
Yesterday's lie
F C Dm7
Talking to me about some 0% interest and how she got a better
A#
Deal than the next guy
Dm Dm7M Dm7 Dm6
And the way the lightning shocked us when we were lost and
Dm Dm7M Dm7
Looking down that long missouri highway your hair was longer
Dm6 Bb7
Then and now i remember
F C Dm7
Oh the roads unencumbered by cats they're burning like wet
A#
Matches thru my miracle mile mind
F C Dm7
You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems but
A#
Mine only brushes your soft surface
F C Dm7 A#
And somehow it leaves me listless, my tongue curls under my lips Oh yes
F C Dm7 A#
So i cant speak to tell you of the months before i met you
Dm Dm7M Dm7 Dm6 Dm Dm7M
And the way the truth it locked us right about the time after
Dm7 Dm6
The lightning shocked us
Dm Dm7M Dm7 Dm6
When we were young and missing
Dm Dm7M Dm7
Round that small new england byway our lives they were sheltered
Dm6 Bb7
Then and now i remember
F C Dm7
Well its not even being about that anymore i gotta get you down
A# F
Those tiny fragments of perfection they please me in a time
C
Unchanged when its not the same beginning
Dm7 A# F
Or along awaited end.. if i knew all the words i would write
C
Myself out of here
Dm7 A#
If i was all the colors i would paint you pretty in gold in a
F
Picture so i'm told little sister
C Dm7
So now i'm sold little sister why don't you tell me about the
A#
Sunsets in sweden and the laws of eden
F C
And how you were the rock of gibraltar and how they called you Foxy
Dm7 A#
Well that's another whole box of pandoras, that's another whole
Box of them ties
F
Slide your foot off the gas
C Dm7 A#
before we crash right back into the Median
F C Dm7 A#
It separates our house from the middle of the street.. talking
About our house
F C Dm7
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they swing swiftly
A#
Towards happier times
F C Dm7
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort and
A#
Getting distance from that front porch spotlight
F C Dm7 A#
But us we found peace in shadows long enough to see a monster die.
F C Dm7
We all need to find a little space in our daydreams long enough
A#
And just so long.
F C Dm7
Long enough, just as long, just so long as its long enough is it
A#
Long enough?
F C Dm7 A#
Is it long enough for me? long enough for me to chew on.
F C Dm7 A#
If it isn't.. if it is't .. if it is't .. if it ain't if it don't if it can't
Then it wont.
