Tuning: Standard
Written by Herbie Hancock and John Mayer.
From the CD "Possibilities" 2005

There’s two ways that I play the intro to this song.  I tend to play the first
example since the voicing has a bit more of a beefy tone, but either one works great.

This is played for the intro and all verses:
Example ONE:            Example TWO:

e|----------------------|  e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|  B|---2----0----1--------|
G|---6----4----5----6---|  G|------------------2---|
D|------------------7---|  D|---2----1----0----2---|
A|---7----6----5----0---|  A|------------------0---|
E|----------------------|  E|----------------------|

For the Chorus and ending:
    A7         G                     D9           G

e|---5---------3----------------------5-----------3---------|
B|---5---------3----------------------5-----------3---------|
G|---6---------4----------------------5-----------4---------|
D|---5---------5----------------------4-----------5---------|
A|---7---------5----------------------5-----------5---------|
E|---5---------3----------------------------------3---------|

“ stitched up, out of my mind, feeling strung out lagging…” 

There’s a little lick at the end of the chorus before each verse:

e|--0---------------------------------|
B|------3---1-------------------------|
G|--------------2---0-----------------|
D|----------------------3---2---------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

There’s a cool instrumental bridge with some “Ooohs and Ahhhs” after the second chorus:
    Dm7       G      Cadd9      F       Dm7       G

e|---5--------3--------0--------1--------5--------3-------|
B|---6--------3--------3--------1--------6--------3-------|
G|---5--------0--------0--------2--------5--------0-------|
D|---7--------0--------2--------3--------7--------0-------|
A|---5--------2--------3--------3--------5--------2-------|
E|------------3-----------------1-----------------3-------|
