Hi Guys,

I'm really having a hard time figuring out the logic behind John Mayer's song called No Such Thing.
The verse has Emaj - Amaj - C#min - Emin7 (or D/G) but when it goes to the bridge (second time around), singing "up my sleeve" he is using an F#13 (or some modification of it) and I don't understand how can that fit into the progression. Then the F# is followed by an A major so I guess it can be a Lydian progression with II7(F#)-IV(A)? Is it normal to use a lydian II7 at the end of a phrase to build up tension like he does?

What do you think?
Many thanks!
Br,
Gabor
