Geek in the Pink (Open Chords!)
orig. by Jason Mraz
I didn't see an easy way for beginners to play this song, and it's pretty catchy.
an entirely open-chords version. (It's so much fun to play barred though, so don't use this
an excuse to avoid barre chords!)
Tip: on some of the chords, you may think the upper E string sounds a little goofy,
it's so high. If that's the case, try muting it by lightly placing your pinky on it. I do
for G, D and B7, but it's up to you.
Capo: 6th Fret (for same key as Mraz)
Verse/Chorus:
Em | C | Am | G | D
Pre-chorus:
Em | C | Am | G | B7
Bridge:
C | Em | B7 | Em
C | Em | B7
Verse:
[Em]Let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
[C]If you like the way I'm thinking babe, you ain't got it
[Am]I may be skinny at times, but I'm fat full of rhymes
[G]Pass me the mic and I'm-a [D]grab at it
[Em]Well, isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissing this baby
[C]Listen to this, don't to miss it while it's hitting
[Am]Sometimes you got to fit in to get in, but
[G]Don't ever quit 'cause soon I'm [D]gonna let you in, but see
Pre-chorus:
[Em]I don't care what you might
[C]Think about me; you'll get
[Am]By without if you want
[G] [B7]
Chorus:
[Em]I could be the one to take you home
[C]Baby, we could rock the night alone
[Am]If we never get down, it wouldn't be a letdown, but sugar
[G]Don't forget what you already [D]know
[Em]I could be the one to turn you out
[C]We could be the talk across the town
[Am]Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another, you might re-
[G]-gret what you let slip [D]away, like the geek in the pink
Bridge:
[C]Hey baby, look at me
[Em]go; From zero to
[B7]hero; You best take it from a
[Em]Geek like me; I can
[C]Save you from unoriginal
[Em]Dum-dums, who wouldn't care if you
[B7]Come . . . plete them or not
