Geek In The Pink Cifras

Geek in the Pink (Open Chords!)
orig. by Jason Mraz
 
I didn't see an easy way for beginners to play this song, and it's pretty catchy.
Here's an entirely open-chords version.  (It's so much fun to play barred, though!)
 
Tip: on some of the chords, you may think the upper E string sounds a little
goofy, since it's so high.  If that's the case, try muting it by lightly placing
your pinky on it.  I do this for G, D and B7, but it's up to you.
 
Capo: 6th Fret (for same key as Mraz)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
Let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
C
If you like the way I'm thinking baby wink at it
Am
I may be skinny at times, but I'm fat full of rhymes
G                         D
Pass me the mic and I'm-a grab at it
 
Em
Well, isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissing this baby
C
Listen to this, don't to miss it while it's hitting
Am
Sometimes you got to fit in to get in, but
G                               D
Don't ever quit 'cause soon I'm gonna let you in, but see
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em
I don't care what you might
C
Think about me; you'll get
Am                     G B7
By without if you want
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
I could be the one to take you home
C
Baby, we could rock the night alone
Am
If we never get down, it wouldn't be a letdown, but sugar
G                             D
Don't forget what you already know
 
Em
I could be the one to turn you out
C
We could be the talk across the town
Am
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another, you might re-
G                       D                                Em    C
-gret what you let slip away, like the geek in the pink
                     Am          G  B7
Like the geek in the pink, yeah
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
Well, this relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
C
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Am
Because she fall in love too often, that's what's the matter
G                              D
At least I'm talking about it, keep my pattern of flattery
 
Em
And she was starin' through the doorframe and
C
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Am
Well, she can get her toys outta the drawer then
          G                          D
'Cause I ain't comin' home, I don't need that attention, see
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em
I don't care what you might
C
Think about me; you'll get
Am                     G B7
By without if you want
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
I could be the one to take you home
C
Baby, we could rock the night alone
Am
If we never get down, it wouldn't be a letdown, but sugar
G                             D
Don't forget what you already know
 
Em
I could be the one to turn you out
C
We could be the talk across the town
Am
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another, you might re-
G                       D
-gret what you let slip away
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C
Hey baby, look at me
Em
go; From zero to
B7
hero; You best take it from a
Em   D    G
Geek like me; I can
 
C
Save you from unoriginal
Em
Dum-dums, who wouldn't care if you
B7
Come . . . plete them or not
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em
So what? I've got a short attention span; a coke in my hand
C
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
Am
My hip hop and flip-flops, well it don't stop with the light rock
G                        D
My shot to mock you kinda puts me in a tight spot
Em
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha
C
So I'm developing a language, and I'm callin' it my own
Am                                                     G
So take a peek into the speaker, and you'll see what I mean
                           D        B7
That on the other side the grass is greener
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
Em
I don't care what you might
C
Think about me; you'll get
Am                     G B7
By without if you want
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em
I could be the one to take you home
C
Baby, we could rock the night alone
Am
If we never get down, it wouldn't be a letdown, but sugar
G                             D
Don't forget what you already know

G                       D
-gret what you let slip away
                        Em
Like the geek in the pink
 
 
[Outro]
 
C                                 Am
Well, I'm the geek in the pink, yo
G                       D                         Em     C
Geek is the color for all, I'm the geek in the pink
 
In the pink yo
G                       D
Geek is the color for fall
                       Em
I'm the geek in the pink
