The Remedy
Jason Mraz
Intro: Gm Eb Bb F
Dm Eb Bb F
*Stanza chords : Gm C F Bb
I saw fireworks from the freeway
and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July
freedom ring now something on the surface it stings
That something on the surface it kind of makes
me nervous who says that you deserve this
And what kind of god would serve this? We will cure
this dirty old disease
F break
If you've got the poison I've got the remedy
*Continue with stanza chords
The remedy is the experience. It's a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious
Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend
the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
F pause
because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
Chorus:
Bb Eb F Gm Dm Eb F
I... wont worry my life away. (2X)
*Stanza chords
I heard two men talking on the radio
in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
They were counting down the days to
stab the brother in the be right back after this
the unavoidable kiss where the minty fresh death breath
is sure to outlast his catastrophy
dance with me
F break
because if you've got the poison I've got the remedy
*continue with stanza chords
the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how youre gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
*repeat chorus

There's no need to hurry
Gm Eb
When I make up my mind
Bb F
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine
and I'll tell you why because
Bb Eb G# C#
the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison

I say the comedy is that it's serious. Which is a strange
