You And I Both by Jason Mraz
You And I Both
Was it you [G] who spoke the words that things would hap[Em]pen but not to me
Oh [C] things are gonna happen naturally [Em]
And taking [Am] your advice I'm loo[C]king on the bright side
And balan[D]cing the whole thing
But often [G] times those words get tang[Em]led up in lines
And the [C] bright lights turn to night [Em]
Until [Am] the dawn it brings
A little bird who'll sing about the ma[C]gic that was you and me [D]
Cause you and I [G] both loved ß---no chords for “Cause you and I” just sing it
What you and I [Em] spoke of
Other just read [C] of
others only [D] dream of the love, the love that I love…whoooo oo ohh [G] [Em]
See I'm all about them words [G]
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered [Em] words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards [C]
More words then I had ever heard [D] and I feel so alive
you and I both loved what you and I spoke of ß----same as chorus
and others just read of and if you could see me now
[G]Now you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore [Em]
And with [C] this silence brings a moral story
more importantly evol[D]ving is the glory of a boy
you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of words.
and it's okay[C] if you have go away[D]
just remem[G]ber the telephone[D] works both ways[Em]
and if I [C] never ever hear [D] it ring
if nothing else[G] I'll think the bells inside
have finally[Em] found you someone else and that's[C] oookay
cause I'll re[D]member everything you sang
you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm already finally out of words……….
P/s this is my first tab that I’ve ever made and it doesn’t use any fancy chords
but then again im no good at fancy chords

version 2
This is the version off the album. Best to play it with bar chords.
The Gmaj7 isn't exactly right, but the tab at the beginning is, so just play that
chord the whole time for it. Enjoy!

The * represents the fact that there is a slight pause there between section. The
rest of the notes are close together because they are in quick succession. Watch
the youtube link to see this.
To make it easier for it to be played (as I have seen it from Mr. Mraz himself),
the bottom e- and B-string have to be picked with your middle finger, and for the
G-string use your index finger. This is because, as you can see in the tab, you
often alternate between picking the B- and G-string. When you have to pick the
e-string (like in the first section of the tab) just use your middle finger, then
for the next string to be picked, the B-string, use the same finger, bringing it
up from the e- to the B string. Then pick G and B normally with the middle and
index finger.
As for the small downward strumming motion, use the nails of your index and middle
finger.

And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
