Jason Mraz - Song For A Friend
http://youtu.be/EsC7nq7wIvk
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason plays this song two different ways:
● No capo = http://youtu.be/7CO3llnp9kI
● Capo 5 = http://youtu.be/rnEMgBca954
I've tried to simplify it some for the average player (like myself.) You can simplify it even
more and just use Bm, A, G, Em and F#m.

==INTRO==
Bm A6 Gmaj7 Em7 F#m (x2)
==VERSE==
BmWe are magic, he said, but don't lA6et it all go to your head
'cause I GMaj7bet if you had it all figured out then you'd Em7never get out of F#mbed
Well, no Bmdoubt of all the things that I've read what he wA6rote me
Is now sounding like the man I was GMaj7hoping to be
I keep on keeping it reEm7al 'cause it keeps getting F#measier, you'll Em7see
==REFRAIN==
Em7He's the reason that I'm laAughing even if there's Bmno oAne eGlse
EmHe said you've got to lAove yourBmself A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m
==VERSE==
He said you shouldn't Bmmumble when you speak, but keep your tonA6gue up in your cheek
And if you sGMaj7tumble on to something better remember that it's hEm7umble that you sF#meek
You got Bmall the skill you need, individA6uality
You got somGMaj7ething call it gumption, call it anEm7ything you F#mwant
==REFRAIN==
Because when yEm7ou play the fAool now, you're only foBmoling eveAryone eGlse
Em7You're learning to lAove youBmrself A6 (yes GMaj7you are)Em7 F#m
==CHORUS==
Yes Bmyou, yA6ou, yoGMaj7u Em7 F#m
==BRIDGE==
EmThere's no price to Apay
EmWhen you give it what you tAake
EmThat's why it's easy to thAank...
==CHORUS==
Bmyou, yA6ou, yoGMaj7u Em7 F#m
Bmyou, yA6ou, yoGMaj7u Em7 F#m
==VERSE==
BmLet's say take a break from a day of gettin' bA6ack to the old garage
Because lGMaj7ife's too short anyway, but at least it's bEm7etter than aF#mverage
As long as yBmou got me and I got you, you know we got a lA6ot to go around
I'll be your frGMaj7iend, your other brother, another lEm7ove to come and coF#mmfort you
==REFRAIN==
Em7And I'll keep reminAding, if it's the onlBmy thing IA ever Gdo
EmI will always loAve yBmou A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m
==CHORUS==
Bmyou, yA6ou, yGMaj7ou Em7 F#m
BmooooohA6hhhh GMaj7you Em7 F#m
BmIt's tA6rue, GMaj7our lovEm7e is F#mtrue
BmIt's yA6ou I GMaj7love, iEm7t's yF#mou I love, it's you, it's you I love
BmIt's tA6rue, GMaj7our lovEm7e is F#mtrue, our love is true, it's you I love
BmIt's yA6ou I GMaj7love, iEm7t's yF#mou I love, it's you, it's you I love
==OUTRO (x3)==
BmClimb up over the top, suA6rvey the state of the soul
You've got to fGMaj7ind out for yourself whEm7ether or not you're tF#mruly trying
BmWhy not give it a shot? SA6hake it, take control
Inevitably wGMaj7ind up finding for yourself all the sEm7trengths that you have inF#mside still rising
==One Strum each==
BmClimb up over the top, suA6rvey the state of the soul

BmWhy not give it a shot? SA6hake it, take control
Inevitably wGMaj7ind up finding for yourself all the stEm7rengths that you F#mhave inside of Bmyou
