Bella Luna by Jason Mraz

I've provided an alternate chord progression for the guitar solo section which uses the intrumental break and chorus chord progression. A little more interesting than the original in my view.

Song: Bella Luna
By:   Jason Mraz

[intro:]  | Am7 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 E7 | Am7 |
 
[verse: 1]
Am7
Mystery the moon
   Bm7b5
A hole in the sky
    Bm7b5
A supernatural nightlight
    Am7
So full but often right 
           Dm7
A pair of eyes, a closing one
           Am7
A chosen child in golden sun
          Bm7b5
A marble dog that chases cars
                                           
To farthest reaches of the beach
          E7
And far beyond into the swimming sea of stars

[instrumental: guitar]    2 x [ Am7 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 |  E7 ]  {let ring}
  
[verse: 2]
          Am7
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
               Bm7b5
They're giving birth to constellations
             Bm7b5
No riffs and, oh, no reservation
               Am7
If they should fall you'd get a wish or dedication

Dm7
  May I suggest you get the best
Am7
For nothing less than you and I
Bm7b5                                    
  Let's take a chance as this romance
           E7
is rising over before we lose the lighting

|Dm   |  G             C
    Oh, Bella Bella please
        Fmaj7         Dm
Bella, you beautiful Luna
    Dm             E
Oh Bella, do what you do

[instrumental: guitar]    2 x [ Am7 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 |  E7 ]  {let ring}
 
[Verse 3]
               Am7
You are an illuminating anchor
               Bm7b5
Of leagues to infinite number
           Bm7b5
Of crashing waves and breaking thunder
           Am7
Tiding the ebb and flows of hunger

Dm7
   You're dancing naked there for me
     Am7
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
            Bm7b5
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
                               E7
You are the queen and king combining everything
                                      Am          Dm
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
              G                 C
I'm just a singer, you're the world
           Fmaj7               Dm            E   |  E  |
All I can bring you  is the language of a lover

Am         Dm   |G       |C                |Fmaj7
    Bella Luna,    my beautiful beautiful moon
         Dm               E    |E
How you swoon me like no other

{original solo: guitar}   Am7 Bm7b5  Bm7b5  Am7
                          Am7 Bm7b5  Bm7b5  Am7  {essentially 2 x start of a verse chords}
 
[alternate solo: guitar]  2 x [ Am7 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 |  E7 ]
                          {one half chorus}
                                Dm   G    C   Fmaj7
                                Dm   Dm   E   E 
                          2 x [ Am7 | Bm7b5 | Bm7b5 |  E7 ]

[verse: 4]
Dm7
  May I suggest you get the best
        Am7
Of your wish may I insist
                                          Bm7b5
That no contest for little you or smaller I
                                         E
A larger chance happened, all them they lie
                      E            |Dm  |G
On the rise, on the brink of our lives 

       |C
Bella please
       |Fmaj7       |Dm
Bella you beautiful Luna 
Dm                 E     |E |
Oh Bella, do what you do
Am        Dm   |G       |C                |Fmaj7
   Bella Luna,    my beautiful beautiful moon
         |Dm               E    |E
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
