                E
You’ve got the best of both worlds
G#m                                 F#m
   You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man
     A               B
And lift him back up again
           E                       G#m
You are strong, but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
     F#m                                     A                 B
And based on your body language and shouted cursive i’ve been reading
       E                                 G#m
Your style is quite selective, but your mind is rather reckless
          F#m                                A              B
Well, I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

A                                 B
  Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
A                            B
  It’s like picking up trash in dresses

         E                      G#m
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
 F#m              A            B
Kind of turn themselves into knives
     E                       G#m
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
          F#m                          A        B     F#
'Cause i like being submerged in your contradictions dear
        A      F#    A      E
'Cause here we are, here we are

( E  G#m7  F#m7  A  B )

    E                       G#m
Although you were biased i love your advice
      F#m                                          A                  B
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
         E                        G#m
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
 F#m7                              A              B
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

A                                   B
  And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
A                                    B
  It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses

         E                      G#m
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
 F#m              A            B
Kind of turn themselves into blades
         E                       G#m
And the kind and courteous is a life i’ve heard
    F#m                        A            B
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
       F#    A      F#7        A
Cause here, here we are, here we are

 E            G#m          F#m          A      B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are
 E            G#m          F#m          A           B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, we’re still here

A                             B
  And what a beautiful mess this is
A                                   B
  It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

             E                  G#m
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
        F#m           A          B
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
     E                   G#m
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
            F#m                   A            B
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
        E                     G#m
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
          F#m             A           B
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

( E  G#m  F#m  A  B )
