All fret numbers relative to the capo!!!
This is a really simple, but beautiful song by Jason Mraz. Enjoy!
PART I
INTRO (X4)
I bare my windowed self untamed and untrained
Dreams that hardly touch our complexions truest faults
If room enough for both my drowsy spirit shall fall
Bold waves tumble to the season of my heart
You have offended my faith and my trust
Until all is lost into the beauty of the day
Until all is lost
(see-yeah, see-yeah)
And I think It's Lost (x11)

PART II
And there's something in the way you laugh
And it makes me feel like a child
Aspects of life they confuse me
You and your thesis amuse me (x2)

PART III
After an afternoon with you
And your rich brown eyes
Your lips and dark hair
Elbows and exposed knees
tossing toward your ceiling (a-ling a-ling a ling) (x4)

REPEAT PART I
(Interlude)
REPEAT PART I
Face to palm
Tear to tear
And
Mouth to tongue
Heart to ground
Heart to ground
Say, "I am in love"
Say, "Heart to ground"
Say, everything
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart
Oh, Heart to ground
I am in love
