Jason Mraz - Song For A Friend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsC7nq7wIvk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~ This is my own simplified version of this song using basic chords. If you want to see how
Jason plays it, he does it two different ways.
~ 1st way: No capo = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CO3llnp9kI
~ 2nd way: Capo 5 = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEMgBca954
==INTRO==
Bm A G Em F#m (x2)
==VERSE==
Bm A
We are magic, he said, but don't let it all go to your head
G Em F#m
'cause I bet if you had it all figured out then you'd never get out of bed
Bm A
Well, no doubt of all the things that I've read what he wrote me
G
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be
Em F#m Em
I keep on keeping it real 'cause it keeps getting easier, you'll see
==REFRAIN==
A Bm A G
He's the reason that I'm laughing even if there's no one else
Em A Bm A G Em F#m
He said you've got to love yourself
==VERSE==
Bm A
He said you shouldn't mumble when you speak, but keep your tongue up in your cheek
G Em F#m
And if you stumble on to something better remember that it's humble that you seek
Bm A
You got all the skill you need, individuality
G Em F#m
You got something call it gumption, call it anything you want
==REFRAIN==
Em A Bm A G
Because when you play the fool now, you're only fooling everyone else
Em A Bm A G Em F#m
You're learning to love yourself (yes you are)
==CHORUS==
Bm A G Em F#m
Yes you, you, you
==BRIDGE==
Em A
There's no price to pay
Em A
When you give it what you take
Em A
That's why it's easy to thank...
==CHORUS==
Bm A G Em F#m
you, you, you
Bm A G Em F#m
you, you, you
==VERSE==
Bm A
Let's say take a break from a day of gettin' back to the old garage
G Em F#m
Because life's too short anyway, but at least it's better than average
Bm A
As long as you got me and I got you, you know we got a lot to go around
G Em F#m
I'll be your friend, your other brother, another love to come and comfort you
==REFRAIN==
Em A Bm A G
And I'll keep reminding, if it's the only thing I ever do
Em A Bm A G Em F#m
I will always love you
==CHORUS==
Bm A G Em F#m
you, you, you
Bm A G Em F#m
ooooohhhhh you
Bm A G Em F#m
It's true, our love is true
Bm A G Em F#m
It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love
Bm A G Em F#m
It's true, our love is true, our love is true, it's you I love
Bm A G Em F#m
It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love
==OUTRO (x3)==
Bm A
Climb up over the top, survey the state of the soul
G Em F#m
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Bm A
Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control
G Em F#m
Inevitably wind up finding for yourself all the strengths that you have inside still rising
==One Strum each==
Bm A
Climb up over the top, survey the state of the soul
G Em F#m
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Bm A
Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control
G Em F#m Bm
Inevitably wind up finding for yourself all the strengths that you have inside of you
