Jason Mraz Not So Usual
This is my an adaptation to a previous tab that I thought was wrong.
Listening to the "Live at the Eagles Ballroom" version of the song, I'm pretty sure this
correct.
Standard Tuning - E A D G B E
Intro Em Am B7 (play 4 times)
Em Am B7 Em
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
Am B7 Em
She stood painting my picture, of a most unusual world
Am B7 Em
She can crawl out of frame while shes hanging on the wall
Am B7
And she's callin' my name
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, Oh, no
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, Oh, No!
Em Am B7
She's mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
Em Am B7
She complains when I smoke, but then you do the same to me,

Em Am B7 Em
She's controlling my brain activity, knowing when I go.. to sleep
Am B7
She's gonna catch me when I'm falling hard
Em Am B7
She's most unusua-al, Ha, now!
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, HA! NO!
Em Am B7
She's not so usua-al, Ho, no.
Em Am B7
She's not so usual, Oh no.
Am
She's not so hooked on the drugs like I thought that she was,
D
And never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine,
Am
And despite of her bipolar rollercoastering,
D
I think I can try, she'll keep me singing differently,
G D Em
And it's fine, cause she's with me now, most all of the time,
Am
Trying and saving my life, thinking not of her own,
D
And always kissing me goodnight when I just need to be alone.
G D Em
She's so sweet, so discrete, she's exactly what I need,
Am B7
Not even make believe... Ohh
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so usual
Em Am B7 ... Em
B7
She's not so You... Ha..!
(Continue playing Em Am B7 throughout Vocal Ad-libs)
Oh... well say she's not so, not so usual, use,
But see she not too practical neither, babe.
I say she not so, not so mystical,
Not so magical - why? Because she say so.
An' not so out of control,
And not so...Into the phone.
She's not so u-sua-al.
She's a natural,
Oh, she's not so... u-sua-al-Oh! Oh!
All she wants to do is so-oul!
But she's not so you - Ha!
She's not so you.
Not so low!
(End on Em Am-Em)
