[Start]

[Intro]
E G#m7 F#m7 A E G#m7 F#m7 A
■ ■    ■    ■ ■ ■    ■    ■


[Verse]
                  
One two three four
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                         
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
    A                               
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
E                            
Your style is quite selective
G#m                                
Though your mind is rather reckless
F#m    F#                          A                             
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is
                          B       A
And what a beautiful mess this is ■


[Chorus]
                           B               
It's like we're picking up trash in dresses
E                     G#m7                       F#m7 
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
             A                     
Kind of turn themselves into knives
    E             G#m7                           
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
F#m7                       A       B7                 
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
F#     A      F#    
'cause ■ here we are
A       E    
Here we ■ are
G#m G#m7 F#m7 A
■   ■    ■    ■


[Verse]
E                       G#m7              
Although you are biased I love your advice
F#m7                        
Your comebacks they're quick
             A                                
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#m7                   A                              
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
                          B    A   
And what a beautiful mess this ■ is
                           B         
It's like picking up trash in dresses
E                     G#m7                       F#m7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say 
             A               E     
Kind of turn themselves into blades
         G#m7                          
Kind and courteous is a life I've heard
F#m7                 A                          F#     
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
       A            
'cause ■ here we are
F#         
Here we are
A           E             G#m7
Here we are ■ here we are ■   


[Chorus]
            G#m F#m         A
Here we are ■   here we are ■
            E       G#m7 F#m7
Here we are here we are  ■   
            A                 
Here we are ■ we're still here


[Bridge]
                      B      
What a beautiful mess this is


[Chorus]
A                               B        E                 
■ Well it's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
                     G#m7 
And through timeless words
              F#m7    
And priceless pictures
               A    
We'll fly like birds
            E    
Not of this earth
               G#m7
And tides they turn
           G#m7     
And hearts disfigure
F#m7                 
But that's no concern
A                          
When we're wounded together
E                  G#m    
And we've torn our dresses
                F#m7  
And stained our shirts


[Outro]
              F#m  
But it's nice today
            A              
Oh the wait was so worth it
E G#m7 F#m7 A B E
