Jason Mraz - Halfway Home

first i must say , it’s sad that this song more famous than it is . i discovered it
myself last summer , and fell in love with it . so i decided to learn it . first the
tab , and then i wanted to play it with chords , just try to get the sound of it .
i’m not sure if it’s 100% correct , but it sounds ok in my ears .

what you need :
a guitar in standard tuning
a capo placed on the 2nd fret

strumming pattern : i use D – D – u – u – D

if you listen to the song he quite often builds up from A Em to A G chord .
so if you want to add that part , well he does is the following on your lowest E – string .
E : | 0 – 2 – 3 and then play the G – chord .

feel free to correct me , send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and
i’ll try to fix the wrong part ( s ) . i know the chordsplacements aren’t 100%
accurate , but i’ve done it by ear from the way i remember the song , so bare with me . ; )

oh , and fyi , i got the lyrics from a random site , and from what i’ve checked , he
uses different lyrics on almost every recording i’ve heard . not much i can do Am i afraid : )

intro : G – B7 – Em – C – G – B7 – Em

G B7 Em C
well i used to walk along the opposite side of the road
G B7 Em
and made others get out of my way
G B7 Em C
i used to think that i could sit and wait for the times
G B7 Em
but i know i should meet them halfway

Em C G B7
i’m halfway home and i’m on my own
Em C G B7
i’m halfway there and i don’t care , i don’t mind
Em C G B7
i plan to leave here after supper time , that’s when traffic is light , all i
Em C G B7 Em
need is a sign and i’ll be alright . i’ll be fine

G B7 Em C
well i used to think that i could just sleep and then i would dream
G B7 Em
and everything it would just come to me
G B7 Em C
until i woke one day without anything to eat
G B7 Em
lying on the opposite side of the street

Em C G B7
i’m halfway home and i’m still out on my own
Em C G B7
i’m halfway there and i don’t care , i don’t mind
Em C G
because it ain’t my time not to stay or say
B7 Em C G
well i can’t say , but you can bet that i will play my heart out
B7
i’ll won’t lay .

G B7 Em C
i used to think that i could just sit and wait for the times
G B7 Em
but i know i gotta meet them halfway

Em C G B7
i’m halfway home i tried running with the flow
Em C G B7
i’m halfway there . ain’t it funny how everybody seems to care
Em C G
i planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
B7 Em C G
all i needed was a sign and i guess i’ll be alright .
Em C G B7
i’ll be fine , i’ll be fine , i’ll be alright , i’ll be alright .

Em C G B7

Em C G B7
i’ll be fine
Em
i’ll be fine
