Ok, so I was listening to the old duet between Jewel and Steve Poltz and love it so much, I decided to take a stab at the tabs. They sound pretty good actually. A couple caveats: This song is fingerpicked and I'm not that good at it so this sounds really nice as a combination of fingerpicking and strumming. Simply finger the chords, wiggle your fingers a bit, and have fun. I capo on the first fret but if you're a guy and sing lower, it's fine without capo.

VERSE 1:
G
I can see you
G
And I can hear you
C9 G
Private conversations rattle round in my head
D
Like marbles in a can
D G
You're the only one I hear
G
And I can touch you
G
And I can feel you
C9 G
Picture perfect postcards of your face are in my brain
D G
And they slowly fade like a movie or a passing train
CHORUS:
D
Do you do you wanna
D C
Will you will you always be
C G
Unfettered and free
D
Come towards me baby
D C
Say you'll always be
C CADD9 G
My yyy valentine
VERSE 2:
G
The clouds are soft as cotton balls
G C9 G
As we slowly descend from this metal tube above
D
Well I wish I could dive up
D G
And flutter into your arms
G
And I'm impressed by the way that you digress
C9 G
Pretending that your styrofoam was just a chromosome
D
When X meets the Y
D G
When we make love I could die
CHORUS:
D
Do you do you wanna
D C
Will you always be
C G
Unfettered and free
D
Just come towards me baby
D C
Say you'll always be
C CADD9 G
My-yy valentine
BRIDGE
EM G
Underneath the golden sea I see your face
G D C9
I belong to you and you belong to me
VERSE 3:
G
I can tell by the way you're wishing well (could be wish me well)
C9
Your eyes are oh so blue
C9 G
And even though you're far away
G D G
I will love you for ever and a day
D
Do you do you wanna
D C
Will you will you always be
C G
Unfettered and free
D
Just come towards me baby
D C
Say you'll always be
C Cadd9 G
My yyy valentine
