Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
          D#
Youʼve got the best of both worlds
Gm7                      Fm7
Youʼre the kind of girl who can take down a man
   G#         A#
And lift him back up again
     D#                 Gm7
You are strong, but youʼre needy, humble but youʼre greedy
   Fm7
And based on your body language
G#            A#
and shouted cursive Iʼve been reading
   D#                       Gm7
Your style is quite selective, but your mind is rather reckless
     Fm7                      G#      A#
Well, I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is.

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

Chorus:
     D#               Gm7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Fm7         G#       A#
Kind of turn themselves into knives
      D#              Gm7
And donʼt mind my nerve you can call it fiction
     Fm7                   G#     A#   F7
Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
     G#     F7 G#
Cause here we are, here we are

Verse:
   D#                Gm7
Although you were biased I love your advice
   Fm7
Your comebacks theyʼre quick and probably
G#           A#
have to Do with your insecurities
        D#              Gm7
Thereʼs no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
Fm7                        G#      A#
Words that paraphrasing this relationship weʼre staging

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

Chorus:
     D#               Gm7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Fm7         G#       A#
Kind of turn themselves into blades
     D#                Gm7
And the kind and courteous is a life Iʼve heard
      Fm7           G#         A#
But itʼs nice to say that we played in the dirt
   F7   G#     F7       G#
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Bridge:
D#        Gm7      Fm7      G#     A#
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are
D#        Gm7      Fm7      G#       A#
Here we are, here we are, here we are, weʼre still here

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

Chorus:
        D#           Gm7
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
    Fm7       G#      A#
Weʼll fly like birds not of this earth
   D#             Gm7
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
       Fm7             G#       A#
But thatʼs no concern when weʼre wounded together
     D#              Gm7
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
      Fm7          G#       A#
But itʼs nice today, oh the wait was so worth it
