(1) I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
and crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave
(2) I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to
our love was comfortable and so broken in
(1) I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty
(2) Life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
Our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
(3) or so they say
Interlude (4)
She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
(5) I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect
(6) Our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
(3)I'm not impressed
I want you back

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOHN MAYER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
