[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] You got [E] the best of both worlds. _ _
[G#m] You're the kind of girl who [F#m] can take down a man and [A] lift him [B] back up again.
[E] You are strong but you're needy, _
[G#m] humble but you're greedy.
[F#] And based on your body language and [A] shoddy cursive I've been [B] reading,
_ [E]
Your style is quite selective, though [G#m] your mind is rather reckless.
[F#m] Well I guess it just suggests that this [A] is just what [B] happiness is.
[A] _ _ _ _ And what a beautiful mess _ [B] this _ _ _ _ is. _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ It's like we're picking up trash [B] in _ [C#m] dresses. _
_ _ _ Well [E]
it kind of hurts when [G#m] the kind of words you _
[F#m] write
_ turn [A] themselves into [B] knives and [E] don't mind my nerve.
Or [G#m] you could call it fiction, [F#m] but I like being submerged [A] in your _ _ [B] contradictions, [F#] dear.
_ _ _ Cause [A] here _ _ we [F#] are. _ _ _ _
[A] Here _ we _
[E] are. _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] Although _ you are biased, [G#m] I love [E] your advice.
[F#m] Your comebacks, they're quick and probably [A] have to do with your [B] insecurities.
[E] There's no shame in being crazy, [G#m] depending on how you take [F#m] these words.
I'm paraphrasing [A] this relationship [B] we are staging.
[A] _ _ _ And what a beautiful mess _ [B] this _ _ _ _ _ is. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ It's like we're picking up trash [B] _ in [C#] dresses. _
_ _ _ _ _ [E]
Well it kind of hurts [G#m] when the kind of words you [F#m] say
_ kind of turn [A] themselves [B] into blades.
[E] _ _ Kind and courteous is [G#m] a life I've heard.
[F#m] But it's so nice to say [A] that we played [B] in the dirt.
[F#] Oh cause here, _ _
[A] _ here _ _ [F#] we are.
_ _ Here [A] we are.
_ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ Here we are. _
[G#m] _ Here we are.
Oh [F#m] _ here we are. _
[A] _ Here [B] we are. _
[E] Here we _ _ _
[G#m] are.
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[A] We're [B] still here. _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Oh what _ a beautiful [Am] mess _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
this _ is. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _
It's like we're taking a guess when the only answer [C#] is _ _ [B] yes. _
And [E] through _ timeless _ words [G#m] and priceless pictures
we [F#m] will fly like birds.
There's [A] a [B] knot of this earth [E] that times may turn
[G#m] and our hearts disfigure [F#m] but that's no concern
[A] when we're wounded _
[B] together [E] and we tore our dresses
[G#m] and we stained our shirts but [F#m] it's so _ nice today. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ Oh the wait [B] was so worth _ it. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _
Oh _ _ _ _ [Am] yeah. _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _
