Singer/Band:
Jason Mraz
[Intro]
[G] [Cadd9] [Dadd9] [(x2)]
[Verse1]
I've been [Em7]all around the world
I've been a [G]new sensation
But it [Am7]doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
[Em7]The sophomore slump is an [G]uphill battle
And [Am7]someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a [Em7]new song
Like a new religion, [G]music for the television
[Am7]I can't do the long division, someone do the math
B’for the [Em7]record label puts me
On the [G]shelf up in the freezer
[Am7]Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
e|----------------| B|----------------| G|----------------|
D|----------------| A|------------2-x-| E|-----0---3------|
So I drop my top
[G]Mix and I mingle
[C]Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[Chorus1]
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Verse2]
And it's time to get [Em7]ill I got your remedy
For [G]those who don't remember me
Well [Am7]let me introduce you to my style
I [Em7]try to keep a jumble
In the [G]lyrics never mumble
When the [Am7]music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a [Em7]new song, like a new religion
[G]Music for the television
I [Am7]can't do the long division, someone do the math
For the [Em7]people write me off
Like I'm a [G]one-hit wonder
[Am7]Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
e|----------------| B|----------------| G|----------------|
D|----------------| A|------------2-x-| E|-----0---3------|
Pull out the stops
[G]Got your attention
I [C]guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay
[Chorus2]
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Bridge]
I built a [F#m7-5]bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a [B]flowin’, but
I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the [Em]ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the [D5]melodies inside me
And they're [C5]comin’ till I'm running out of air [C5] [C5/B] [C5] [D5]
Are you [F#m7-5]prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
[B]Are you listening to a single word I've said
[Chorus3]
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
