1000 Things Chords - Jason Mraz
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

Cadd9
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?
