Lyrics

[Verse 1]
[F]
Say it like this:
más o menos

[M]
It means
“more or less”

[F]
Use it
when you’re unsure

[M]
Not perfect
but close enough

[F]
If they ask,
“¿Está listo?”

[M]
You can say,
“Más o menos”

[F]
Soft on the “s”
keep it easy

[M]
Let it roll
right off your tongue

[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Not “very”
not “maybe”

[M]
Right in the middle
that’s the space

[F]
For plans, for prices,
for how you feel

[M]
Más o menos
that’s the place

[Chorus]
[F]
Más o menos
more or less

[M]
Más o menos
close enough

[F]
Use it when
you’re not sure yet

[M]
Más o menos
that’s the move

[F]
Más o menos
say it smooth

[M]
Más o menos
you’ll sound right

[F]
Easy, casual,
Costa Rica style

[M]
Más o menos
day to day

[Verse 2]
[F]
How are you?
“Más o menos”

[M]
How was the trip?
“Más o menos”

[F]
Was it good?
“Más o menos”

[M]
Was it bad?
“Más o menos”

[F]
It can mean
kind of okay

[M]
It can mean
so-so today

[F]
For temperature,
work, or time

[M]
You can use it
just like that

[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
When you need
a gentle answer

[M]
When “yes” and “no”
both miss the mark

[F]
It’s the phrase
that keeps it natural

[M]
Warm and simple
from the heart

[Chorus]
[F]
Más o menos
more or less

[M]
Más o menos
close enough

[F]
Use it when
you’re not sure yet

[M]
Más o menos
that’s the move

[F]
Más o menos
say it smooth

[M]
Más o menos
you’ll sound right

[F]
Easy, casual,
Costa Rica style

[M]
Más o menos
day to day

[Bridge]
[F]
Try it with me,
one more time

[M]
Más o menos

[F]
Short and relaxed,
no need to force it

[M]
Más o menos

[F]
If you forget,
just smile and try

[M]
Más o menos

[F]
You’ve got the rhythm,
you’ve got the line

[M]
Más o menos

[Final Chorus]
[F]
Más o menos
more or less

[M]
Más o menos
close enough

[F]
Use it when
you’re not sure yet

[M]
Más o menos
that’s the move

[F]
Más o menos
say it smooth

[M]
Más o menos
you’ll sound right

[F]
Easy, casual,
Costa Rica style

[M]
Más o menos
day to day
