Jason Mraz - Wordplay
Tabbed by: Drew (drewfonts@yahoo.com)


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

Verse:  Em G Am7

          EmI've (022000@1)been all around the world
            GI've (320003@1)been a new sensation
          Am7But (x02010@1)it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation

The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said they knew my scene
Cause they need a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division someone do the math
The record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure

Pre-chorus:
     Em (022000@1)        GSo (320003@1)I drop my top mix and I mingle
   Am7Is (x02010@1)everybody ready for the single and it goes...


Chorus:
G (320003@1)   C9 (x3233x@1)  DAh (xx0232@1)la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I lay
Ah la la la love...it's all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
DThe (xx0232@1)wonderful thing it does because because
Em (022000@1)                         D/F#I (200232@1)am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
         C9Yeah (x3233x@1)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 remedy
For those who don't remember me well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble
When the music's making people tongue-tied
You want a new song like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from going under

Pre-chorus 2:
EmPull (022000@1)out the stops
(no chord)
Got your attention
Am7I (x02010@1)guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay... (Chorus)

Bridge:
AmOh, (x02210@1)the bridge across the stream of consciousness
                        BIt (x2444x@1)always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going
       E5 (022xxx@1)                           D5 (xx023x@1)                       C5Oh (x355xx@1)the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and I'm curving till I'm 
out of air
AmAre (x02210@1)you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
BAre (x2444x@1)you listening to a single word I've said?

Chorus:  (just guitar)
G (320003@1)   C9 (x3233x@1)  DAh (xx0232@1) la la la love
Listen closer to the words I say
Ah la la love
We're sticking to the wordplay
Ah la la la love
The wonderful thing it does because because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay


Final Chorus: (full band)
G (320003@1)   C9 (x3233x@1)  DAh (xx0232@1)la la la love
I'm all about the wordplay
Ah la la la love
Sticking with the wordplay
Ah la la la love
I love the wonderful thing it does because because of my ooh's and ah's and fa la la's 
back in love
With the Mr. A to Z they say is all about the wordplay
