Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
          F
Youʼve got the best of both worlds
Am7                      Gm7
Youʼre the kind of girl who can take down a man
   A#         C
And lift him back up again
     F                 Am7
You are strong, but youʼre needy, humble but youʼre greedy
   Gm7
And based on your body language
A#            C
and shouted cursive Iʼve been reading
   F                       Am7
Your style is quite selective, but your mind is rather reckless
     Gm7                      A#      C
Well, I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is.

Pre-chorus:
A#                  C
 Hey, what a beautiful mess this is.
A#                      C
 Itʼs like picking up trash in dresses

Chorus:
     F               Am7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Gm7         A#       C
Kind of turn themselves into knives
      F              Am7
And donʼt mind my nerve you can call it fiction
     Gm7                   A#     C   G7
Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
     A#     G7 A#
Cause here we are, here we are

Verse:
   F                Am7
Although you were biased I love your advice
   Gm7
Your comebacks theyʼre quick and probably
A#           C
have to Do with your insecurities
        F              Am7
Thereʼs no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
Gm7                        A#      C
Words that paraphrasing this relationship weʼre staging

Pre-chorus:
A#                  C
 And itʼs a beautiful mess, yes it is
A#                          C
 Itʼs like, we are picking up trash in dresses

Chorus:
     F               Am7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Gm7         A#       C
Kind of turn themselves into blades
     F                Am7
And the kind and courteous is a life Iʼve heard
      Gm7           A#         C
But itʼs nice to say that we played in the dirt
   G7   A#     G7       A#
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Bridge:
F        Am7      Gm7      A#     C
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are
F        Am7      Gm7      A#       C
Here we are, here we are, here we are, weʼre still here

Pre-chorus:
A#                  C
 And what a beautiful mess this is
A#                        C
 Itʼs like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Chorus:
        F           Am7
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
    Gm7       A#      C
Weʼll fly like birds not of this earth
   F             Am7
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
       Gm7             A#       C
But thatʼs no concern when weʼre wounded together
     F              Am7
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
      Gm7          A#       C
But itʼs nice today, oh the wait was so worth it
