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.

My Valentine
~ Written by Jewel Kilcher and Steve Poltz

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

For some reason, the spacings of where to change chords didn't post.

OK, I took such care, happened again so here's some explanations:

Verse 1: Change to G on 'round' on the 3rd line
Line 4: change to D on 'marbles'
Line 5: change to G on 'hear'
Line 8: change to G on 'face'
Line 9: change to D on 'slowly' then back to G on 'train'

Chorus: Line 2" Change to C on 'be'
Line 3: Change to G on 'free'
Line 6: Change to C on 'be'

Verse 2:
Line 2: Change to C9 on 'slowly' then back to G on 'metal'
Line 3: Change to D on 'wish'
Line 4: Change to G on 'arms'
Line 6: Change to G on 'just'
Line 8: Change to G on 'die'
Bridge:
Line 1: Change to G on 'face'
Line 1: Change to D on 'you' then to C9 on 'belong'.
Verse 3:
Line 3: Change to G on 'though'
Line 4: Change to D on 'love' and back to G on 'day'

That should do it. I've found too in the chorus that she sings 'unfettered' at different keys depending on the time. On the lower key it sound nice when you play a CADD9 (if that's what you call the chord) there. Just a variation I like s'all.
