Some foreward: This is the proposed single from the new Jason Mraz cd, Mr. A-Z.
I figured it out randomly and almost by accident so Im sure its not the most
accurate thing to ever reach UG but it will do and should serve as a basis for
correction.
Strumming pattern is obvious in the song. Below is the riff that repeats in the
intro and towards the bridge. Ill put chords for the verse and the chorus/bridge
but the rest is repetition, you can figure it out. Included all the lyrics for
anyone interested.
Tuning: Standard
Chords Needed (I hope the names are correct)

i've been all around the world
Dsus2
i've been a new sensation
Cadd9
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
so i drop my top
mix and i mingle
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 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

Em7
And it's time to get ill i got your remedy
Dsus2................................Cadd9..........................
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
pull out the stops
got your attention
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 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
[Play the intro arp.]
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 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 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
