1,000 Things (live acoustic version)
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.

And I'm, I'm over-joyed
G
And I'm, I'm over-loved
Cadd9 G
And I'm feeling lucky, like a little boy
Cadd9
Who's hiding under cover
G
And looking to discover
Cadd9 G
Every way to play the part inside this darkened cave

The meaning of life, well it starts at the nightlight

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
D/B A5
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
Cadd9 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
Cadd9 D
Suddenly the thousand things I've seen were nothing more than dreams of
G Cadd9
Of you and me
G Cadd9
You and me
G Cadd9
Quietly at a standstill now
G Cadd9
Fortunately you will, well you'll kiss me, I will
I will kiss you back
BRIDGE
Cadd9 G
Oh the fact of the matter is - ooo-lay
Cadd9 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
A5 Cadd9
OOoooo - Well I love my comfort foods, you said
D
While you always say, How do you do?
