For D, G and D5 chords:
Use your forefinger and pinky to play the chord. Use your other two
fingers to mute the strings when necessary.

N.B.:
At the time being, there are a few versions of this song circulating
but none of them sound right to me. I decided to rewrite the tabs
for this song and while listening to some live acoustic sets of
Jason Mraz, I noticed he retunes his guitar every time before
playing this song. That's when I figured out he is playing in DADGAe
tuning. As far as I know, this is the first tab for this song in
this tuning on the interwebs (and thus the only correct one). Some
chords are quite funky to grab at first, but it will give you that
particular Jason-Mraz-Dynamo-of-Volition-sound.


I didn't tab out all the arpeggio's. Please try practising by
listening to some recordings. There are many on youtube.
Have fun!
