AGE OF WORRY - John Mayer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
With the help of a couple other tabs and two videos of John playing, I think I've put
together a completely accurate tab (hopefully). Enjoy!
Tuning: EADGBe
(T): Use thumb on bass note
(m): Use middle finger on bass note
x : Mute note
INTRO
For this part, it's easiest to just pick with your thumb and index finger while resting
your other fingers on the guitar. Start out with a G shape on the third fret with your
thumb fretting the root on the low E.

If you're playing solo, you might just repeat that the rest of the song. Or, you could
play the chords, as John often does with the band:

These chords are pretty weird and difficult to play — I extrapolated them best I could
from a video of a live performance on Letterman — so alternatively, use simpler open
chords (G5, D/F#, Cadd9).
Gadd9(G5) Dadd4(D/F#) C6sus2(Cadd9)
Close your eyes and clone yourself
C6sus2(Cadd9) Gadd9(G5) Dadd4(D/F#) Gadd9(G5)
Build your heart an ar- my
Dadd4(D/F#) C6sus2(Cadd9)
To defend your innocence
Dadd4(D/F#) Gadd9(G5)
While you do everything wrong
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Don't be scared to walk alone
Cadd9 G5 D/F# G5
Don't be scared to like it
D/F# Cadd9
There's no time that you must be home, so
D/F# G5
Sleep where darkness falls
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Alive in the age of worry
Cadd9 G5 D/F#
Smile in the age of wor-ry
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Go wild in the age of worry
Cadd9 D/F# G5
And say, "Worry, why should I care?"
G5 D/F# Cadd9 Cadd9 D/F# G5
(Oooooooooooooooh) (Ooooooooooooooh)
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Know your fight is not with them
Cadd9 G5 D/F#
Yours is with your time here
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Dream your dreams but don't pretend
Cadd9 D/F# G5
Make friends with what you are
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Give your heart then change your mind
Cadd9 G5 D/F#
You're allowed to do it
G5 D/F# Cadd9
'Cause God knows it's been done to you
Cadd9 D/F# G5
And somehow you got through it
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Alive in the age of worry
Cadd9 G5 D/F#
Rage in the age of wor-ry
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Sing out in the age of worry
Cadd9 D/F# G5
And say, "Worry, why should I care?"
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Cadd9 G5 D/F#
Rage in the age of wor-ry
G5 D/F# Cadd9
Act your age in the age of worry
Cadd9 D/F# G5
And say, "Worry, get out of here!"
Cadd9 D/F# G5
Cadd9 D/F# G5
