I’m Yours | Chords + Lyrics (capo 2)
Intro
| A | E | F#m | D |
Verse 1
| A | E |
Well, you done, done me and you bet I felt it, I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted.
| F#m | D |
I fell right through the cracks, and now I’m trying to get back.
| A | E |
Before the cool done run out, I’ll be giving it my bestest, and nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention.
| F#m | D |
I reckon it’s again my turn, to win some or learn some.
Chorus 1
| A | E | F#m | D |
But I won’t hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait, I’m yours.
Instrumental 1
| A | E | F#m | D |
Verse 2
| A | E |
Well open up your mind and see like me, open up your plans and damn you’re free.
| F#m | D |
Look into your heart and you’ll find, love, love, love, love.
| A | E |
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, we’re just one big family,
| F#m | D | B |
and it’s our God-forsaken right to be, loved, love, love, love, loved
Chorus 2
| A | E | F#m | D |
So I won’t hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait, I’m sure.
| A | E | F#m | D |
There’s no need to complicate, our time is short, this is our fate, I’m yours.
M8
||: A E/G# | F#m E | D | B :||
And do do do do you…. But do ya want to come on, scooch on over closer dear. And I will nibble your ear, so du ba ba….
Verse 3
| A |
I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror,
| E |
and bending over backwards just to try to see you clearer,
| F#m | D |
but my breath fogged up the glass, so I drew a new face and I laughed.
| A | E |
I guess what I’m saying is there ain’t no better reason, to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons,
| F#m | D |
it’s what we aim to do, our name is our virtue.
Chorus 3
| A | E | F#m | D |
But I won’t hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait, I’m yours.
Outro
| A | E |
Well open up your mind and see like me, open up your plans and damn you’re free.
| F#m | D |
Look into your heart and you’ll find that the sky is yours, so please don’t, please don’t, please don’t.
| A | E |
There’s no need to complicate ’cause our time is short this,
| F#m | D | B |
oh, this, oh this, oh this is our fate, I’m yours-ah!

I’m Yours’ chords and chord progressions
Jason Mraz‘s I’m Yours chord progression for the verse/chorus section is simple with its I – V – VI – IV progression. B – F# – G#m – E.
Using a capo and playing high up the neck actually makes it much more difficult in terms of seeing I’m Yours chords. Maybe you should instead think of them as A – E – F#m – D.
A few licks are incorporated into my one acoustic guitar arrangement. These could be seen as chord extensions, like this (thinking in relation to the capo):
| A A6 | E/G# Eadd9 | F#m | D Dsus2 D |
The chord progression only changes once and that is for the m8 section, like this:
| A E/G# | F#m E | D | B |

Intermediate Acoustic
Most intermediate acoustic tunes can’t be played using just basic open-position chords. We have to move up the fretboard and play CAGED barre chords as well.
We incorporate bass lines, add licks, extend chords, and play vocal melodies. Most importantly, we invent second guitar parts and play these songs together.
