Jason Mraz - WordplayTabbed by: Drew ([email protected])

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

Verse: Em G Am7

EmI've been all around the world GI've been a new sensation Am7But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation

The sophomore slump is an uphill battleAnd someone said they knew my sceneCause they need a new song like a new religionMusic for the televisionI can't do the long division someone do the mathThe record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezerGotta find another way to live the life of leisure

Pre-chorus:

Page 2: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

Em GSo I drop my top mix and I mingle Am7Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Chorus:G C9 DAh la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I layAh la la la love...it's all about the wordplayAh la la la loveDThe wonderful thing it does because becauseEm D/F#I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's C9Yeah 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 remedyFor those who don't remember me well let me introduce you to my styleI try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumbleWhen the music's making people tongue-tied

Page 3: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

You want a new song like a new religionMusic for the televisionI can't do the long division someone do the mathFor the people write me off like I'm a one hit wonderGotta find another way to keep from going under

Pre-chorus 2:EmPull out the stops(no chord)Got your attentionAm7I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay... (Chorus)

Bridge:AmOh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness BIt always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going E5 D5 C5Oh the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and I'm curving till I'm out of airAm

Page 4: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my headBAre you listening to a single word I've said?

Chorus: (just guitar)G C9 DAh la la la loveListen closer to the words I sayAh la la loveWe're sticking to the wordplayAh la la la loveThe wonderful thing it does because because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la'sYeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay

Final Chorus: (full band)G C9 DAh la la la loveI'm all about the wordplayAh la la la loveSticking with the wordplayAh la la la loveI love the wonderful thing it does because because of my ooh's and ah's and fa la la's back in love

Song: You and I BothArtist: Jason Mraz

This is the version off the album. Best to play it with bar chords.The Gmaj7 isn't exactly right, but the tab at the beginning is, so just play thatchord the whole time for it. Enjoy!

G Gmaj7 [3 5 4 4 3 3]Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me EmOh things are gonna happen naturally AmOh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side C DAnd balancing the whole thing G Gmaj7Oh but often times those words they get tangled up in lines EmAnd the bright light turns to night AmOh until the dawn it brings another day to sing C DAbout the magic that was you and me

Page 7: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

G Gmaj7Cause you and I both loved EmWhat you and I spoke of AmAnd others just read of C DOthers only read of the love G Gmaj7Of the love that I love Emyeah la-be-de-dum

GSee I'm all about them words Gmaj7 EmOver numbers, unencumbered numbered words AmHundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards C DMore words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

G Gmaj7Cause you and I both loved Em

Page 8: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

What you and I spoke of AmAnd others just read of C DAnd if you could see me now oh love love GYou and I you and I Gmaj7 EmNot so little you and I anymore

Am And with this silence brings a moral story C Dmore importantly evolving is the glory of a boy G Gmaj7Cause you and I both loved EmWhat you and I spoke of AmAnd others just read of CAnd if you could see me now D GWell then I'm almost finally out of Gmaj7 AmFinally ou-ou-out of final-la-de-de-de-da-de C D G

Page 9: Jason Mraz EBS Live Lyrics

Well I'm almost finally finally well I am free oh I'm free

C (8th fret) Dmand it's okay if you had to go away G D oh just remember the telephones well they workin 'em Emboth ways C DBut if I never ever hear them ring G Dif nothing else I'll think the bells inside Em Chave finally found you someone else and that's o-o-okay Dcause I'll remember everything you sang G Gmaj7Cause you and I both loved EmWhat you and I spoke of AmAnd others just read of CAnd if you could see me now D GWell then I'm almost finally out of

Tuning: Capo On 3rd

I can't believe this has such a poor rating. It's supposed to be acoustic!I know it's not how Jason plays it, but I've seen how he plays itand I've looked at the other tabs that are correct...FYI: These are the exact same chords, it's just in a different key!I made it this way because when he plays it he uses all barred chordswhich is kind of difficult for some people. These are the same chords,I just transposed it into a different key.(He plays Gm Cm F Bb which believe it or not is capo on 3rd Em Am D G)

Em AmBe right back after this, the unavoidable kiss, D GWhere the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast Em AmThis catastrophy, dance with me DBecause if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
