Love is Real by Jason Mraz
tabbed by Spence Thompson
This is a little rendition of the previous tab because I learned the song and felt that
didn't have it completely right.

A D E
There is hope, and there is joy and there is acceptance

So now let all the light that collects on your plants keep you warm, make you

smile

And suddenly it's not so hard to say you're alright
***The A goes into the filler which sounds a note or two different, so I just
play the first filler and it sounds fine****
AD EA
Oh, love is real it is not just in poetry and stories
ADE
It is truth and it will follow you everywhere you go from now on
A D EA
So if you just cast all off your doubts then your lips would answer for you
AD E
Oh, my darling when you smile it is like a song
I can hear it now
A - Bm - Cm# - D - E -- play 8x
I like to end it early on acoustic (after one go as the rest of the song is kinda long
and if you're just playing by yourself then it makes more sense to end it soon.
Furthermore, I can't sing next to a D so I go back down to a Bm and finish it with the
and end on an A. (just for those that want to sing the song too and don't have an
voice).
Wish you luck and if you want to tab out the small differences between the two fillers,
my guest.
