BUTTERFLY – Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>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
VERSE1
I’m taking a moment just imaginin’ that I’m dancin’ with you
I’m your pole and all you’re wearing is your shoes.
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a
* **
song about you. And you have your own enga-ging style.
‘ ‘’
And you’ve got the knack to vivify. And you make my slacks
a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like
*
That’s if you crash and spend the night
CHORUS
* *
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
*(E7sus2)
In your message say my name
* * *(E7sus2)
Your talk is all the talk, sister you’ve got it all
* * *(E7sus2)
* * * (**)
VERSE2
*
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
* *
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
Because they’re the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your
PRE-CHORUS
*
Butterfly
*
Well you float on by
* *
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
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
Doll I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you up side down slide in slide out slide over here
Climb in my mouth now child
INTERLUDE (instrumental, scatting)
* * * * 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...
