As I Was Saying Jack Johnson
As I Was Saying by Jack Johnson off his new album “From Here to Now to You”
Standard tuning. NOTE: Barre chords sound the BEST here. You can still use the regular
chords but barre chords create that Jack Johnson sound we all love.
Capo 1st fret
INTRO
[F#m]
VERSE
[A]As I was saying[Em]
Just before you left the r[D]oom
Before [A]I assumed
That y[G]ou might n[D]ot come aro[A]und
[A]As I was saying[Em]
Just after I took m[D]y foot from
My m[A]outh and put it b[G]ack
[D]On the gr[A]ound
CHORUS
[D]I don't want to disapp[E]oint you
[A]I don't want to disapp[D]ear
From h[Bm]ere or n[E]ow or y[A]ou
VERSE
[A]This is worth saving[Em]
Because the sum of us is m[D]ore than us
If you [A]add us up
Then subtr[G]act my l[D]ack of sl[A]eep
[A]My mind feels crazy[Em]
When all these thoughts come [D]rushing in
Should I be tr[A]usting them
Or [G]only l[D]et them b[A]e?

CHORUS
[D]I don't want to disapp[E]oint you
[A]I don't want to disapp[D]ear
From h[Bm]ere or n[E]ow or y[A]ou
BRIDGE
[Bm]Is it just a matter of t[E]ime?
[Bm]Or does it even matter at [C#]all?
[D]Because even if this st[A]ory should f[Bm]all
From the sk[D]y to the s[A]ea
[A]If I should [Bm]fall
Would you f[D]all down with m[F#m]e?
Would you fall?[E]
VERSE
[A]Found my foundatio[Em]n
It was underneath me [D]all alone
[A]On this path I'm on,
Now I n[G]ever w[D]alk al[A]one
[A]I've been erasing[Em]
Rewrote the second h[D]alf like this
So my prot[A]agonist
Might f[G]ind his w[D]ay back h[A]ome
CHORUS
[D]I don't want to disapp[E]oint you
[A]I don't want to disapp[D]ear
From h[Bm]ere or n[E]ow or y[A]ou
No not from h[Bm]ere or n[E]ow or yo[A]u
