[Intro]
G(2 counts) Cadd9(2 counts) Dsus4(4 counts) (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em7(2 counts) Dsus4(2 counts) Cadd9(4 counts)
Em7I've been all around the world
Dsus4I've been a new sensation
Cadd9But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
Em7The sophomore slump is an uphill battleDsus4  
Cadd9And someone said that ain't my scene
Em7'Cause they need a new song
Dsus4
Like a new religion
Music for the television
Cadd9I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
Em7For the record label puts me on the shelf up in thDsus4e freezer
Cadd9Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
Em7So I drop my top
Dsus4Mix and I mingle
Cadd9Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Dsus4
GHa La La Cadd9La LaDsus4  
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LaDsus4)
It's all about the wordplay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LoDsus4ve)
The wonderful thing it does
GBecause, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-laCadd9-la's
Dsus4Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
[Verse 2]
(same chords as in verse 1)
And 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
Gota find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Dsus4
GHa La La Cadd9La LaDsus4  
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LaDsus4)
It's all about the wordplay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LoDsus4ve)
The wonderful thing it does
GBecause, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-laCadd9-la's
Dsus4Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
[Bridge]
Cadd9(1 strum)
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the ryhmGin' and the timin'
KDsus4eeps the melodies inside me
Cadd9And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
Asus4(1 strum) Cadd9(1 strum)
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Dsus4
GHa La La Cadd9La LaDsus4  
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LaDsus4)
It's all about the wordplay
G(Ha La La Cadd9La LoDsus4ve)
The wonderful thing it does
GBecause, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-laCadd9-la's
Dsus4Yeah the Mister A to Z
