____________________
/ Jason Mraz / I think this song is rather straightforward. He sings
/ Geek in the Pink / about prejudices about him and his nerdy look, and how
/ Mr. A-Z / this girl shouldn't judge him because of that. She
/___________________/ doesn't know what she's actually missing.
Chords:
Right below I've written some chords if you were to play the whole thing on
guitar. In the small tab chart in the right side I've indicated the chords
that the funk guitar actually plays in the song (it's out in the bridge though).

Let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby, wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat full of rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin'
'Cause baby listen to this don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don't ever quit 'cause soon I'm gonna let you in
[Chorus]:
I don't care what you might think about me
You get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby I could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge me by the colour, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Like the geek in the pink
Like the geek in the pink
Well my relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But cupid's automatic must of fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter
At least I talk about it keep a pattern of flattery
She was staring through the doorframe
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys out of the drawer then
'Cause I ain't comin' home, I don't need that attention
[Chorus]
Hey, look at me go from hero to zero
You better take it from a geek like me
Well, I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you complete them or not
So what I've got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip-hop and flip-flops, well it don't stop with the light rock
My shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-hah
So I'm developing a language and I'm calling it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener
[Chorus]
Like the geek in the pink
Well, I'm the geek in the pink y'all
Geek is the colour for fall
I'm the geek in the pink
