didn't really care for the song on the album(as with just about every song off either of his two studios), but i found an mtv.com acoustic performance of it that was pretty badass.

Bridge
? ?
e-------------------------------------------- the 1st ? could be a type of E
B-------------------6-----------7--6~------2- chord...the bass note ALMOST sounds
G-3---2---3------6----6---6--3--8--6~---2--3- like an E. if that's the case,
D-4---3---4----6---6----6----4--x--x~---3--x- then the 2nd ? is an F for sure.
A-4---3---4------------------4--6--4~---3--1-
E-2---1---2---6--------------2----------1----
? ? ^ 4x
little trouble with the chords in "?"...if someone could help me out with those, that'd be awesome...
Sounds good, bro. I haven't tried the bridge yet but everything else sounds close if not right. This is how I prefer listening to Mraz. Just him and Toca....
is there a reason i can't see this video? it tells me that i don't have the plug in, but when i click on the link to download the plug in it doesn't work. i have windows media player 10. i really want to watch this video, can anyone help?
i didnt listen to the song.. but.. on identifying the chord based on the tab.. the first ? is DEF. an F major chord.. and the second is a F# major chord... that is, if you didnt tune down or capo or anything else.
ahh, that's not really what i meant. i knew the chord names of what i have posted, but what i really meant was i'm not sure if those are the chords that he's actually playing, and i needed a bit of help figuring those out
so yeah, it coulda been that you missed something or maybe i was just about clear as mud(always a good possibility)

Any1 see Mraz on one of the late night talk shows wearing a pink short with the letters: TPIMGF
Do you think that stands for Tristan Prettyman Is My Girl Friend?
I do, and this girl is way to hot for Mraz - I truly believe this is calculated image construction to get this girl noticed, but I could be wrong and I really do like Mraz's music.

pretty sure that's exactly what it stood for. it's not really image construction, they've been dating for a pretty long time now (year and a half or so?) and she's toured with him twice.
