BUTTERFLY – Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
This refers to the acoustic version off the We Dance EP. And this is
as close as I can get it. I put the chords I use at the end, so scroll
down. Mraz likes to mix it up, so the strumming, for instance, changes throughout
the song. Have fun.
Standard tuning
Capo on first fret
[Verse 1]
Em7 Am7
I’m taking a moment just imaginin’ that I’m dancin’ with you
Bm7
I’m your pole and all you’re wearing is your shoes.
Cmaj7
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a
B7 Em7 Am7

song about you. And you have your own enga-ging style.
Bm7
‘ ‘’
And you’ve got the knack to vivi-fy. And you make my slacks
Cmaj7
a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
B7

That’s if you crash and spend the night
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Am7
*
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Bm7 Em7
* *
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
B7
Because they’re the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7
*
Butterfly
Am7
*
Well you float on by
Bm7 Em7
* *
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
B7
And let’s mood the lights and finally make it right
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
* *
But you don’t fold, you don’t fade
Em7 Am7
* *
You’ve got everything you need, especially me
Bm7 Em7

Let me feel you up side down slide in slide out slide over here
Climb in my mouth now child

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Am7
Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Bm7 Em7
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
B7
I wanna fly with you and I don’t wanna lie to you
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
Cause I, cause I can’t recall a better days
Em7
I’m coming to shine on the occasion
Am7 Bm7
You’re an open minded lady
Em7
You’ve got it all
Am7 Bm7
And I never forget a face
Em7
If I’m making my own I have my days
Am7 Bm7 Em7
Let’s face the fact here, it’s you that’s got it all
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
You know that fortune favours the brave
Em7
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast
