[Intro]

E   G#m7   F#m7   A B


[Verse]

               E
You’ve got the best of both worlds
G#m7                              
    You’re the kind of girl who 
  F#m7
can take down a man
    A              B
And lift him back up again
        E                         
You are strong, but you’re needy, 
G#m7
humble but you’re greedy
    F#m7                           
And based on your body language and
          A                  B
 shouted cursive I’ve been reading
     E                             
Your style is quite selective, but 
     G#m7
your mind is rather reckless
        F#m7                       
Well, I guess it just suggests that
         A         B
 this is just what happiness is.


[Pre-Chorus]

A                           B
  Hey, what a beautiful mess this 
is.
Continúa después del anuncio
A                             
  It’s like picking up trash in 
   B
dresses


[Chorus]

        E                      
Well it kind of hurts when the kind 
G#m7
of words you write
F#m7              A          B
Kind of turn themselves into knives
         E                     
And don't mind my nerve you can call
G#m7
 it fiction
        F#m7                    
‘Cause I like being submerged in 
        A       B    F#7
your contradictions dear
       A       F#7  A       E*
‘Cause here we are, here we are


[Interlude]

E*   G#m7   F#m7  A B


[Verse]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

        E                      
Well it kind of hurts when the kind 
G#m7
of words you say
F#m7              A           B
Kind of turn themselves into blades
        E                       
And the kind and courteous is a life
G#m7
 I’ve heard
         F#m7                A    
But it’s nice to say that we 
         B
played in the dirt
     F#7    A       F#7           A
Cause here, here we are, Here we are


[Verse]

E            G#m7         F#m7  
Here we are, here we are, here 
       A       B
we are, here we are
E            G#m7         F#m7  
Here we are, here we are, here 
       A           B
we are, we’re still here


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

            E                
And through timeless words in 
 G#m7
priceless pictures
      F#m7           A         B
We’ll fly like birds not of this 
earth
    E                   G#m7
And tides they turn and hearts 
disfigure
          F#m7                  
But that’s no concern when we’re 
 A           B
wounded together
       E                    G#m7
And we tore our dresses and stained 
our shirts
         F#m7               A     
But it’s nice today, oh the wait 
      B
was so worth it
