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!
There are some minor lyrics variations that Mraz does on almost every show. That's why the lyrics might be slightly different depending on what version you are listening.
I used this video as reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6ctco8GCN0
There are several variations and small "riffs" throughout the song, but the chords below are a great starting reference.
[Tips] Sometimes, Mraz plays Gadd11 instead of G and Dadd4add9 instead of D. During the Bridge, the G is played in the F shape, 2 frets ahead. Frequently, he hammers on and off the D string when playing C chord, which makes a Cadd2. When playing D chord, he frequently hammers on the e string on the 3rd fret, which makes a Dsus4.
[Verse] GEm Let's drive out to the desert at midnight C and dance in the dust of our headlights GD and score some good seats for the sunrise GEm and dress up in clothes we don't mind getting messed up C When no one would know how to get us GD We don't need the map we'll just drive drive drive
[Chorus] EmC I wanna get lost with you GD and hideout out under the light of the moon EmC I wanna get lost with you AmD and see what it's like to spend the whole night EmC With you just you GD With you just you
[Verse] GEm We could head North over the ocean of turquoises C Well after a while there'll be no noise GDG Set for the sound of our heartbeats beat and on Em and we'll stand in a canyon alone C Singing our favorite songs GD and wait for the words to return in an echo echo echo echo echo...
[Chorus] EmC I wanna get lost with you GD and hideout out under the light of the moon EmC I wanna get lost with you AmD and see what it's like to spend the whole night EmC With you just you GD With you just you EmC With you just you GG With you just you
[Bridge] FGFAmDDG And I, I wanna get lost Em Let's see what the night can do C Let's see what the night can do G Let's see what the night can do DG I wanna get lost
Let's see what the night can do C Let's see what the night can do G Let's see what the night can do DG I wanna get lost
Em Let's see what the night can do C Let's see what the night can do G Let's see what the night can do DG I wanna get lost with you Em Let's see what the night can do DC Let's see what our hearts wanna do Am I wanna know what it's like to spend the whole night EmC With you just you GD With you just you EmC With you just you
