Be Honest – Jason Mraz

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVvwTthgDhc)
In the video Jasonīs guitar isnīt really in a common tune. If you want to play along
with the video;
the closest I got to his tune is by tuning the guitar to: Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb @446Hz.
Please note the tabs/chords
below don't have the E string dropped to D!
I know the tab/chords of this version are posted more often, but I made some changes to
it and wanted to share.
Enjoy playing!

Ok go, go hang your heart on, any tree,
         Bm                        E7
You can make yourself available to anybody,
       Bm                           E7    F#7
Cause every livin' person knows you are a prize,
    Bm                       E7
Whichever way you go I'll be easy to find,

Think of this song as a promise you can do what you want,
          Bm                        E7
If you decide you wanna move into a new stage,
   Bm                          E7       F#7
Deleting me from pages in your mission statement,
    Bm                    E7
My love is unconditional, make no mistake,

I can hold space while you see what your heart has to say about me,
             Bm                            E7
There's no dotted line to sign away your freedom,
