Jason Thomas Mraz (born June 23, 1977 in Mechanicsville, Virginia) is a Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter. Mraz’s stylistic influences include reggae, pop, rock, folk, jazz, and hip hop.
Mraz released his debut album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come in 2002 but it was not until the release of his second album, Mr. A-Z that Mraz achieved commercial success. The album peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 200 and sold over one hundred thousand copies in the US.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
_________________ / Jason Mraz / Besides from being about premature ejaculation, I think / Clockwatching / this song is about a not taking the time to simply enjoy / Mr. A-Z / each other and instead being too dependent on your own /________________/ rushing around all the time. The point is just to relax.
In this song there are the figure/riff and a couple of chords. The verses include both the riff and then the chords of the riff, just casually picked. So I'll just write like 2x Riff, then pick the chords, which I just notate in common bars. All the used chords can be seen right below. The chords in the chorus are just regularly strummed. It's really not complicated :)

The G/b is played instead of the Bmb6 and the Bb6sus2 instead of the Bbsus2. I just thought I'd spice things up with some alternatives here ;)

Take off both your shoes and clothes, I’ll follow Undo corkscrew, drink from the half of a broken bottle Lately we’re running out of time, aren’t we?
Smoking often and calling out our guilty pleasures Let’s keep talking – anything to stop clockwatching Lately we’re running out of time, aren’t we? Crazy for running all the time, maybe Let’s forget we’re running out of time
I’m off like an aeroplane I’m licking your postage stamp again I’m using my right brain and I’m praying the weight will crash Who knew I’d come/cum so fast Well, so what if a two pump chump can’t last I finally made it to three, and I foreclose a five minute-fantasy. I’ll surely fight making love on economy
No jumping conclusions I don’t think there’s no solution Let’s get backwards and forget our restless destination Let’s live in this moment just this time, could we? Just take one moment of our time, maybe Let’s forget we’re running out of time
I’m off like an aeroplane I’m catching my second wind again I’m using my left brain and I’m righting all my wrongs I’m yearning to turn you on I’ve been working on getting you off, so get on board Well, how can I guess by the subject of the best predicate that’s left unsaid When the matter is too delicate, my loneliness is evident
And it’s you You’re running through my mind and it makes me crazy La, la, la Ooh, so amazing
Lady dreamer, you might be the soundest sleeper Tonight sleep tight and build your nest upon my shoulder
