I am wanting to play guitar at some coffee house and im trying to get some songs that i can learn that do not involve vocals, so i can play them there. I'm looking for things that are maybe calm, and acoustic with 1 or 2 guitars. Maybe jack johnson or john mayer?
I want something soft and easygoing sounding (as in the feeling not the difficulty.)

Why Georgia
Stop This Train
Not Myself
Comfortable
My favorite Jack Johnson songs are:
Banana Pancakes
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Better Together
Questions (from the Curious George soundtrack)
Those all seem like they would be a good fit for what you're looking for. And here are some random other songs that might work:
Eric Clapton - Layla (acoustic)
Hellogoodbye - Oh, It Is Love
Jackson Browne - These Days
3 Doors Down - Be Like That
Feist - 1234
Oasis - Champagne Supernova
Oasis - Lyla
Dashboard Confessional - Jamie (Weezer cover)
Weezer - Undone (the sweater song)
Beatles - Blackbird
Sondre Lerche - My Hands are Shaking
And the whole "Dan in Real Life" soundtrack is really good too. It's mostly by Sondre Lerche, and a lot of it is instrumental.
These all have vocals but they have great music too so it would still sound good if you left the vocals out.
