Bare Necessities [D]
Look for the... [D] bare ne[D7]cessities
The [G]simple bare ne[G7]cessities
For[D]get about your [B7]worries and your [E7]strife [A7]
I mean the... [D] bare ne[D7]cessities
Old [G]Mother Nature's [G7]recipes
That [D]brings the [B7]bare ne[E7]cessities [A7]of [D]life
Wherever I [A7]wander... wherever I [D]roam
I couldn't be [A7]fonder... of my big [D]home [D7]
The bees are [G]buzzin' in the [Gm]tree
To make some [D]honey just for [E7]me
When [E7]you look under the rocks and plants
And [A7]take a glance... at the fancy ants, then [D]maybe
Try a [B7]few
The bare ne[E7]cessities of [A7]life will come to [D]you
They’ll [A7]come to you [D]
Look for the... [D] bare ne[D7]cessities

That's [G]why a bear can [G7]rest at ease
With [D]just the bare ne[E7]cessities of life [D]
[*spoken] Now when you pick a [A7] paw-paw Or a prickly [D] pear
And you prick a [A7] raw paw Next time [D]beware [D7]
Don't pick the [G] prickly pear by the [G7] paw
When you pick a [D] pear Try to use the [D7] claw
But [E7] you don't need to use the claw
When [A] you pick a pear of the [A7] big paw-paw
[D] Have I given you a [B7] clue ?
The bare ne[E7]cessities of [A7]life will come to [D]you
They’ll [A7]come to you [D]
They’ll [A7]come to you [D]

I’m Yours
Jason Mraz
Intro: [C] [G] [Am] [F]
Well [C]you done done me and you bet I felt it
I [G]tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I [Am]fell right through the cracks... now I'm [F]trying to get back
Before the [C]cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And [G]nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I [Am]reckon it's again my turn... to [F]win some or learn some
But [C]I... won't... he-si[G]tate... no... more
No... [Am]more... it... can-not [F]wait... I'm yours
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[C] Well open up your mind... and see like [G]me
Open up your plans and damn you're [Am]free
Look into your heart and you'll find [F]love love love love
[C]Listen to the music of the moment people dance and [G]sing
We're just one big fami[Am]ly
And it's our godforsaken right to be [F]loved... loved loved loved
[D7 –single strum] loved [pause]
So [C]I... won't... he-si[G]tate... no... more

[C] [G] [Am] [F]
I've been spending [C]way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And [G]bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my [Am]breath fogged up the glass... and so I [F]drew a new face and I laughed
I [C]guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reasons
To [G]rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's [Am]what we aim to do... our [F]name is our virtue
But [C]I... won't... he-si[G]tate no... more
