Standard Tuning 

{Intro} 
E   G#m7   F#m7   A B 

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

{Pre-Chorus} 
A                           B 
  Hey, what a beautiful mess this is. 
A                                B 
  It’s like picking up trash in dresses 

        E                      G#m7 
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write 
F#m7              A          B 
Kind of turn themselves into knives 
         E                     G#m7 
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction 
        F#m7                            A       B    F#7 
‘Cause I like being submerged in 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                                         A                 B 
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities 
            E                    G#m7 
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 

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

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

{Pre-Chorus} 
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#m7 
And through timeless words in 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                   A           B 
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together 
       E                    G#m7 
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts 
         F#m7               A           B 
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it 


{Outro} 
E   G#m7   F#m7   A B
