I've tried to simplify it some for the average player (like myself.) You can simplify it even
more and just use Bm, A, G, Em and F#m.

==INTRO==
Bm A6 Gmaj7 Em7 F#m (x2)
==VERSE==
Bm A6 We are magic, he said, but don't let it all go to your head GMaj7 Em7 F#m 'cause I bet if you had it all figured out then you'd never get out of bed Bm A6 Well, no doubt of all the things that I've read what he wrote me GMaj7 Is now sounding like the man I was hoping to be Em7 F#m Em7 I keep on keeping it real 'cause it keeps getting easier, you'll see
==REFRAIN==
Em7 A Bm A G He's the reason that I'm laughing even if there's no one else Em A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m He said you've got to love yourself
==VERSE==
Bm A6 He said you shouldn't mumble when you speak, but keep your tongue up in your cheek GMaj7 Em7 F#m And if you stumble on to something better remember that it's humble that you seek Bm A6 You got all the skill you need, individuality GMaj7 Em7 F#m You got something call it gumption, call it anything you want
==REFRAIN==
Em7 A Bm A G Because when you play the fool now, you're only fooling everyone else Em7 A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m You're learning to love yourself (yes you are)
==CHORUS==
Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m Yes you, you, you
==BRIDGE==
Em A There's no price to pay Em A When you give it what you take Em A That's why it's easy to thank...
==CHORUS==
Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m you, you, you Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m you, you, you
==VERSE==
Bm A6 Let's say take a break from a day of gettin' back to the old garage GMaj7 Em7 F#m Because life's too short anyway, but at least it's better than average Bm A6 As long as you got me and I got you, you know we got a lot to go around GMaj7 Em7 F#m I'll be your friend, your other brother, another love to come and comfort you
==REFRAIN==
Em7 A Bm A G And I'll keep reminding, if it's the only thing I ever do Em A Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m I will always love you
==CHORUS==
Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m you, you, you Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m ooooohhhhh you Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m It's true, our love is true Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m It's true, our love is true, our love is true, it's you I love Bm A6 GMaj7 Em7 F#m It's you I love, it's you I love, it's you, it's you I love
==OUTRO (x3)==
Bm A6 Climb up over the top, survey the state of the soul GMaj7 Em7 F#m You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying Bm A6 Why not give it a shot? Shake it, take control GMaj7 Em7 F#m Inevitably wind up finding for yourself all the strengths that you have inside still rising
==One Strum each==
