[Verse 1] |E |G#m7 |F#m7 |Aadd9 |Badd4 |
              E
   You've got the best of both worlds

G#m7                                F#m
   You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,

       Aadd9           Badd4
   And lift him back up again

           E
   You are strong but you're needy,

   G#m7
   Humble but you're greedy

   F#m7
   Based on your body language,

                Aadd9             Badd4
   Your shouted cursive I've been reading

          E
   You're style is quite selective,

               G#m7
   Though your mind is rather reckless

           F#m7
   Well I guess it just suggests,

                Aadd9           Badd4
   That this is just what happiness is
[Pre-Chorus]
 Aadd9                              Badd4
   Hey, what a beautiful mess this is

 Aadd9                        Badd4 B7
   It's like picking up trash in    dresses
[Chorus]
           E                      G#m7
   Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write

   F#m7             Aadd9        Badd4
   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#m7
   Although you were biased, I love your advice

        F#m7
   Your comebacks they're quick

                        Aadd9            Badd4
   And probably have to do with your insecurities

             E
   There's no shame in being crazy,

     G#m7
   Depending on how you take these

   F#m7                            Aadd9             Badd4
   Words they're paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
[Bridge]
 Aadd9                                  Badd4
   Hey, what a beautiful mess, yes it is

 Aadd9                               Badd4  B7
   It's like we 're picking up trash in     dresses
[Chorus]
           E                      G#m7
   Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say

   F#m7              Aadd9           Badd4
   Kind of turn themselves into blades

     E                          G#m7
           Kind and courteous is a life I've heard

            F#m7                Aadd9             Badd4
   But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt

         Aadd9             F#7add4               Aadd9
   Cause here, here we are,          Here we are
[Bridge]
 E             G#m7           F#m7             Aadd9       Badd4
   Here we are,    here we are,    here we are,   here we are,

 E             G#m7           F#m7             Aadd9          Badd4
   Here we are,    here we are,    here we are,   we're still here

 Aadd9                           Badd4
   And what a beautiful mess this is

 Aadd9                               Badd4
   It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
[Chorus]
               E                  G#m7
      Through timeless words and   priceless pictures

         F#m7           Aadd9  Badd4
   We'll fly like birds not of this earth

       E                G#m7
   And tides they turn, hearts disfigure

              F#m7                   Aadd9      Badd4
   But that's no concern when we're wounded together.

          E                     G#m7
   And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts

            F#m7
   But it's nice today,

               Aadd9               Badd4
   Oh   the    wait   was    so    worth     it.
