BUTTERFLY – Jason Mraz

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]
Em7                       
   I’m taking a moment just 
imaginin’ that I’m dancin’ with 
Am7
you
I’m your pole and all you’re wearing
         Bm7
 is your shoes.
You got soul, you know what to do to
 Cmaj7
 turn me on until I write a
B7            Em7                
song about you. And you have your
       *  **   Am7
 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

[Chorus]
              Am7*            Bm7*
But you don’t fold, you don’t fade
           Em7*                
You’ve got everything you need, 
             Am7*
especially me
Bm7*                  Em7*
Sister you’ve got it all
             Am7*            Bm7*
You make the call to make my day
        Em7*(E7sus2)
In your message say my name
             Am7*          Bm7*   
Your talk is all the talk, sister 
              Em7*(E7sus2)
you’ve got it all

Am7*  Bm7*  Em7*(E7sus2)
Am7*  Bm7*  Em7* (Em7**)

[Verse 2]
                Am7*
Curl your upper lip up and let me 
look around
Bm7*                           
   Ride your tongue along your 
Em7*
bottom lip and bite down
Cmaj7                             
 And bend your back and ask those 
Fmaj7
hips if I can touch
                    B7
Because they’re the perfect jumping 
off point of getting closer to your

[Pre-Chorus]
      Em7*
Butterfly
                  Am7*
Well you float on by
   Bm7*                      
Oh kiss me with your eyelashes 
Em7*
tonight
  Cmaj7                  Fmaj7
Or Eskimo your nose real close to 
mine
          B7
And let’s mood the lights and 
finally make it right

[Chorus]
              Am7*            Bm7*
But you don’t fold, you don’t fade
           Em7*                
You’ve got everything you need, 
             Am7*
especially me
Bm7*                  Em7*
Sister you’ve got it all
             Am7*            Bm7*
You make the call to make my day
        Em7*(E7sus2)
In your message say my name
             Am7*          Bm7*   
Your talk is all the talk, sister 
              Em7*(E7sus2)
you’ve got it all

              Am7                
You’ve got it all, you’ve got it 
Bm7                Em7
all, you’ve got it all (x2)

[Bridge]
Am7                              
Doll I need to see you pull your 
Cmaj7
knee socks up
               Gmaj7               
Let me feel you up side down slide 
                   B7
in slide out slide over here

Climb in my mouth now child

[Interlude] (instrumental, scatting)
Em7* Am7* Bm7* Em7* Cmaj7 Fmaj7 B7 
x2

[Pre-Chorus]
      Em7                  Am7
Butterfly, well you landed on my 
mind
     Bm7                           
Damn right you landed on my ear and
          Em7
 then you crawled inside
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7
Now I see you perfectly behind 
closed eyes
        B7
I wanna fly with you and I don’t 
wanna lie to you

[Chorus]
                       Am7     
Cause I, cause I can’t recall a 
        Bm7
better days
              Em7
I’m coming to shine on the occasion
               Am7    Bm7
You’re an open minded lady
              Em7
You’ve got it all
            Am7      Bm7
And I never forget a face
                 Em7
If I’m making my own I have my days
               Am7             Bm7
Let’s face the fact here, it’s you
               Em7
 that’s got it all

[Chorus]
              Am7                 
You know that fortune favours the 
Bm7
brave
                Em7
Well let me get paid while I make 
you breakfast
    Am7           Bm7             
The rest is up to you, you make 
  Em7
the call

             Am7             Bm7
You make the call to make my day
        Em7
In your message say my name
             Am7           Bm7    
Your talk is all the talk, sister 
              Em7
you’ve got it all

        Am7             Bm7
I can’t recall a better day
              Em7
I’m coming to shine on the occasion
         Am7           Bm7   
You’re a sophisticated lady, oh 
Em7              Am7
you’ve got it all
              Bm7
