April Im Yours (Jason Mraz)

C
Well, you dawned on me and you bet I felt it
G
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
Am
I fell right through the cracks
F
Now I'm trying to get back
C
Before the cool dawn run out
G
I'll be giving it my bestest
Am
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.
F
I reckon, it's again my turn
To win some or learn some.
C
But I won't hesitate
G
No more, no more.
Am
It cannot wait,
F
I'm yours.
C
Well, open up your mind and see like me,
G
Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Am
Look into your heart and you'll find love,
F
love, love, love.

Listen to the music of the moment, people

dance and sing, we're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved,

loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,
F
I'm sure.

Our time is short.

This is our fate,
F
I'm yours.
C
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
G
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
Am
But my breath fogged up the glass
F
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.

C
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
G
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
Am
It's what we aim to do.
F
Our name is our virtue.
Chorus
C
Well, open up your mind and see like me,
G
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Am
F
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.
C
So please don't, please don't, please don't..
G.
There's no need to complicate.
Am
'Cause our time is short.
This oh, this oh, this is our fate.

I'm yours.
