Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” is the first single off the man’s third studio album – “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” Funnily enough, despite becoming one of Mr. Mraz’s staple tracks, this song had rather humble beginnings, originally being released on limited edition EP “Extra Credit” as nothing more than a demo.
As soon as “I’m Yours” found its way to Jason’s setlist, it instantly captivated the crowd’s attention, rising to become one of the most popular acoustic-driven tracks for guitar aficionados around the globe.
Ultimately, it was nominated for Song of the Year Grammy Award, as well as Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 51st annual ceremony.
“I’m Yours” achieved great success on the Billboard charts in the United States. To this day, it remains Jason’s top hit in the country. It is best performed with a capo, featuring a classic pop G harmony. You can find “I’m Yours” chords and lyrics in the segment below.

‘Cause our time is short.

This oh, this oh, this is our fate.
