1000 Things Acoustic chords by Jason Mraz

Jason Mraz
Tabbed by: Josh Larrimore (ski_merlin@yahoo.com)
**Special thanks to Jon Blank for trying to tab this
 song first...I just "corrected" (I hope) his
 version.


TUNING: Standard EADGBe (no capo)

This is my very first tab attempt...I didn't think
anyone else got it quite right, so this is what
sounds right to me. I've been playing for about a
year now, but I have a very good ear, and I hope this
is right. Please let me know if anything sounds
off...remember that this is off the live acoustic
version.

Jason starts by picking around a little with
the scat/intro chords, then pauses, waits for
the bongos and starts with the scat/intro

VERSE 1
Cadd9
And I'm, I'm over-joyed
G
And I'm, I'm over-loved
G
And I'm feeling lucky, like a little boy
Cadd9
Who's hiding under cover
G
And looking to discover

G
Every way to play the part inside this darkened cave
A5
The meaning of life, well it starts at the nightlight
D
Close your eyes and I hope you see mine

VERSE 2
Cadd9
And I've, well I've seen a thousand things in one place
A5
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
            D
Erasing memory, well I feel as though I've never seen a face before
         Cadd9
Until I saw your eyes
                      D/B
And they're smiling back at me through my tears
                  A5
I've been counting all these years, oh
                 D
Suddenly the thousand things I've seen were nothing more than dreams of

      Cadd9
Of you and me
    Cadd9
You and me
  Cadd9
Quietly at a standstill now
    Cadd9
Fortunately you will, well you'll kiss me, I will

I will kiss you back

BRIDGE
          G
Oh the fact of the matter is - ooo-lay

          G
And I don't know what the latter is, oh no way
              Cadd9
See, I've always wanted to kiss you
              G
But I, I always wanted to run from you
               Cadd9
Because I've always wanted to miss you
               G
And I, I always wanted to comfort you
 Cadd9
OOoooo - Well I love my comfort foods, you said
            D
While you always say, How do you do?
