Butterfly (acoustic)

Written by 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.<<

Capo on first fret 

VERSE1 
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 vivify. 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 
              Am7*            Bm7* 
But you don’t fold, you don’t fade  
           Em7*                             Am7* 
You’ve got everything you need, especially me  
Bm7*                  Em7* 
Sister you’ve got it all  
             Am7*            Bm7* 
You make the call to make my day  
        Em7*(E7sus2)
In your message say my name  
             Am7*          Bm7*                 Em7*(E7sus2)
Your talk is all the talk, sister you’ve got it all  

Am7*  Bm7*  Em7*(E7sus2)
Am7*  Bm7*  Em7* (Em7**) 

VERSE2 
                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 (same as above) 
But you don’t fold, you don’t fade, you’ve got everything you need  
Especially me  
Sister you’ve got it all  
You make the call to make my day  
In your message say my name  
Your talk is all the talk sister you’ve got it all  

You’ve got it all, you’ve got it all, you’ve got it all (2x)  
You’ve got it all, you’ve got it all  

BRIDGE 
Am7                              Cmaj7 
Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up  
               Gmaj7                                  B7 
Let me feel you up side down slide in slide out slide over here  

Climb in my mouth now child  

INTERLUDE (instrumental, scatting) 
Em7* Am7* Bm7* Em7* Cmaj7 Fmaj7 B7 x2 

PRE-CHORUS (same as above) 
Butterfly, well you landed on my mind  
Damn right you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside  
Now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes  
I wanna fly with you and I don’t wanna lie to you  

CHORUS (same as above) 
Cause I, cause I can’t recall a better days  
I’m coming to shine on the occasion  
You’re an open minded lady  
You’ve got it all  
And I never forget a face  
If I’m making my own  
I have my days  
Let’s face the fact here, it’s you that’s got it all  

CHORUS (same as above) 
You know that fortune favours the brave  
Well let me get paid while I make you breakfast  
The rest is up to you, you make the call  
You make the call to make my day  
In your message say my name  
Your talk is all the talk, sister you’ve got it all  

I can’t recall a better day  
I’m coming to shine on the occasion  
You’re a sophisticated lady, oh you’ve got it all  
You’ve got it all, you’ve got it all, you’ve got it all (3x)  
You’ve got it all, you’ve got it all...  

OUTRO 
      Am7* Bm7*                         Em7*
