Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
          E
Youʼve got the best of both worlds
G#m7                      F#m7
Youʼre 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 youʼre needy, humble but youʼre greedy
   F#m7
And based on your body language
A            B
and shouted cursive Iʼve 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
 Itʼs like picking up trash in dresses

Chorus:
     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 donʼt 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
Cause here we are, here we are

Verse:
   E                G#m7
Although you were biased I love your advice
   F#m7
Your comebacks theyʼre quick and probably
A           B
have to Do with your insecurities
        E              G#m7
Thereʼs no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
F#m7                        A      B
Words that paraphrasing this relationship weʼre staging

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

Chorus:
     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 Iʼve heard
      F#m7           A         B
But itʼs nice to say that we played in the dirt
   F#7   A     F#7       A
Cause here, here we are, Here we are

Bridge:
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, weʼre still here

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

Chorus:
        E           G#m7
And through timeless words in priceless pictures
    F#m7       A      B
Weʼll fly like birds not of this earth
   E             G#m7
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
       F#m7             A       B
But thatʼs no concern when weʼre wounded together
     E              G#m7
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
      F#m7          A       B
But itʼs nice today, oh the wait was so worth it
