Wordplay

Jason Mraz

Tom: G

Intro 2x: G  Cadd9  D

( Em  G  Am  C )
i've been all around the world
i've been a new sensation
but it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
the sophmore 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
'fore the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
( Em  G )
so i drop my top
mix and i mingle
( Am )
is everybody ready for the single
and it goes

( G  Cadd9  Dsus2 )
ha la la la love
now listen closely to the verse i lay
ha la la la love
it's all about the wordplay
ha la la la love
the wonderful thing it does
( Em  D/F#  C )
because because i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
yea the mr. a to z they say i'm all about the wordplay

( Em  G  Am  C )
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
( Em  G )
pull out the stops
got your attention
( Am )
i guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay

( G  Cadd9  Dsus2 )
ha la la la love
now listen closely to the verse i lay
ha la la la love
it's all about the wordplay
ha la la la love
the wonderful thing it does
( Em  D/F#  C )
because because i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
yea the mr. a to z they say i'm all about the wordplay

Cadd9
oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness
                           Asus4
it always seems to be a flowing but i don't know which way my brain is going
G                                      Dsus2                       Cadd9
oh the remedy, the time it kicks, the melodies inside me and i'm curving till i'm running out of air
          Asus4                                            Cadd9
are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
are you listening to a single word i've said

(intro)

ah 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
( Em  D/F#  C )
because because i am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's
yea the mr. a to z they say i'm all about the wordplay
( G  Cadd9  Dsus2 )
ha la la la love
I'm all about the Wordplay
ha la la la love
sticking with the Wordplay
ha la la la love
i love the wonderful thing it does
( Em  D/F#  C )
because because of my ooh's and ah's and fa la la's fall back in love
with the mr. a to z they say is all about the wordplay
