Jason Mraz - Wordplay: chords

          Em7
I've been all around the world
             G
I've been a new sensation
        Am7
But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
Em7                        G
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
    Am7
And someone said that ain't my scene
                   Em7
'Cause they need a new song
                      G
Like a new religion, music for the television
Am7
I can't do the long division, someone do the math
          Em7
B’for the record label puts me
         G
On the shelf up in the freezer
Am7
Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
G
Mix and I mingle
C
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

Chorus:
G      C     D
Ha La La La La
 Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G      C     D
Ha La La La La It's all about the wordplay
G      C     D
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Em7                        D/F#
Because I am the wizard of ooh's
 and ah's and fa-la-la's
          G
Yeah the Mister A to Z, they say
I'm all about the wordplay

When 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 makin' 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

Chorus

           F#m7-5
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
                          B
It always seems to be a flowin’,
but I don't know which way my brain is goin'
        Em                                D
Oh the ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the melodies inside me
            C                              C G/B C D
And they're comin’ till I'm running out of air

           F#m7-5
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
  B
Are you listening to a single word I've said

Chorus:
Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the words I say
(Ha la la la la la)
I'm stickin' to 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
Yeah, the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Ha la la la la la
Now listen closer to the verse I lay
(Ha la la la la la)
I'm stickin' to the wordplay
Ha la la la, love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
Of the ooh's and ah's and the fa-la-la's I'm back in love
Yeah, the Mister A to Z
They say it's all about the wordplay
