------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]

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

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]

Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight 

  Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine

And let’s mood the lights and finally make it right
