Chords for Jason Mraz - Song For A Friend (at Belly Up 12/3/11)

[Bm] _ _ _ This one's for [A] Jerry. _
Jerry back there, [G] buddy?
[Bm] Right on, dude.
[E] _ _
[Bm] _ I took a little tour of Ocean Beach the other day.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Nice.
[Bm] Smell the same.
[E] _ _
[G#] _ [D] _ [Bm] _ _ I [A] wanted to see the old haunts, the old [Bm] hood.
Of course, everything's been changed to something else by now. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
When I first moved [G] to San Diego,
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] [Bm] I met a guy named Jerry.
And he used to drop me [A] down to OB and make me do the open mics.
[G] I didn't have a [Bm] car.
_ Or courage.
_ He said, come on, [A] we're going. _ _
_ [G] [Bm] And I'd always have a great [E] time.
And while I was playing [Bm] songs, Jerry would be walking around the audience, getting people to email addresses.
[A] And we'd build our fans up one at a time.
[G] Anybody that [Bm] wanted to know where our show was going,
we would email them. _ _
We didn't have all this fancy connecting [A] media. _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] Jerry, you're a champion of mine, my brother.
[E] _ _ [Bm] _
Jerry, you're the best.
_ [A] Love you strong. _
[G] Making sure that all you guys get [D] along.
[E] _ _ [Bm] _
Make sure you're looking [Em] sharp.
[A] Walking out with music in your hand.
[G] _ [Bm] Thank you, posters. You're [E] sexy.
_ [Bm] _
Through the _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _
[B] highs and especially the lows, you know who [A] your friends are.
So thank you, Jerry, for being a poster [G#] friend.
[G] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] With _ [D] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
your magic, he said, [A] but don't let it all go to your head.
[G] Well, I bet if you had it all figured [E] out, then you'd never get out [Bm] of bed.
No doubt, of all the things [A] that I've read, what he wrote me
is that I'm sounding like the man [G] I was [Bm] hoping to be
and keeping it real, because it keeps getting easier for [Em] me
[G] He's the [A] reason that I'm happy
_ even if [Bm] there's no [A] one [G] else
_ [Bm] _
[E] _ [Em] He said that you've got to love
_ [A#m] _ [B] [Bm] yourself
_ _ [A] So _ _
[G] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] you shouldn't mumble when you speak
But [D] keep your [A] tongue up in your cheek
[Em] And if you [Bm] stumble on to something, better remember
that it crumbled as you speak
You've got all the skill you need [A] _ _ Individuality
[G] You've got [Bm] something
Don't call it gumption
Don't [E] call it anything [Bm] you want
Because [Em] when you
play [A] the fool now
You're [Bm] only fooling
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] Everyone [E] else
[C#] You're learning to love
_ [D#] _
[B] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] Yourself _ _ _
[G] _ [Bm] _ You're learning to [E] love
Learning to love
[Bm] Learning to love you
_ [A] You _ You
[Bm] _ _ There's _ _ _ [D] _
[Em] _ _ no price [A] to pay _
[Em] When _ you give [A] and what you take _
[E] _ [Em] That's why it's easy to thank _ _ [Bm] you
_ [A] Thank you [B] Thank [G] _ [Bm] _ [Em] you
Thank [D] _
[Bm] _ you, thank you [A] Merci _ [G] Mm [Bm] _ -hmm
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _
They [Em] say take a break from the [A] day
and get back to the old garage
[G] Because life's too short anyway
but at [Em] least it's better than average
[Bm]
As long as you got me and I got you
You [A] know we'll have a lot to go around
[G] I'll be your friend
your other [Bm] brother
[E] Another love to [Bm] come and [D] comfort [E] you
[G] And I'll keep [A] reminding
If [Bm] it's the only thing
[A] I ever [G] [Bm] do _ _
[E] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] You Always love _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] Love you, love you, love [D] you
Yes I [G] do
[Bm] Love you, love [Em] you
Always come [D] through
[Bm] Yes I love _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] you [Bm] Mm _ [E] [Bm]-hmm _
It's you
All I can [A] do
All I can [Bm] do
_ _ [E] You
[Bm] _ _
You _ _ [D] [A] You _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
Climb [C#] up
over the [A] top
Surveying the state of your soul
You [Bm] got to find out for [Em] yourself
Whether or [F#] not you're truly
[G] trying to wind up
Give it a [A] shot
Shake it, take control
[G] Inevitably wind up
Find it for [Em] yourself
All the strength that you have [F#m] inside
[E] You'll ride [Bm] the line
_ [E] [A] Surveying the state of your soul
You [G] got to find [Bm] out for [Em] yourself
Whether or not you're [F#m] truly
[Bm] trying to wind up
Give it a [A] shot
Shake it, take [G] control
[Bm] Inevitably wind up
Find it for yourself
[Em] All the strength that you [F#m] have inside
[Bm] Inside of you
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _ [Bm] What's [B]
inside of [Bm] you
_ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Bm] _ _ [E] What's _ [D] _
[Bm] inside of you
What's inside of you [N] Woo! _ _ _ _
