VERSE 1

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
You are strong but you’re needy,
G#m
Humble but you’re greedy
F#m
Based on your body language,
A B
Your shouted cursive I’ve been reading
E
You’re style is quite selective,
G#m
Though your mind is rather reckless
F#m
Well I guess it just suggests,
A B
That this is just what happiness is

BRIDGE

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

CHORUS

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

VERSE 2

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

BRIDGE

A B
Hey, what a beautiful mess, yes it is
A B
It’s like we ‘re picking up trash in dresses

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

BRIDGE

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

CHORUS
E G#m
And through timeless words and priceless pictures
F#m A B
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
E G#m
And tides they turn, 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, all the wait was so worth it.
