Lyrics

[Intro]
E G#m7 F#m7 A Bsus4
E G#m7
F#m7
A B               E
   You've got the best of both worlds

[Verse 1]
G#m7                                F#m7
    You're the kind of girl who can take down a man
    A                B
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                     B
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
     E
Your style is quite selective
            G#m7
Though your mind is rather reckless
       F#m7
Well I guess it just suggests
             A              B
That this is just what happiness is,
yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Aadd9                                  Badd11
     Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
Aadd9                                 Badd11     B7
     But it's 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 don't mind my nerve you could    call it fiction
     F#m7                             A        B
But I    like being submerged in your contradictions,
    F#7add11
dear
      A           F#7add11 A       E
Cause here we are,         here we are

[Verse 2]
G#m7 F#m7 A
B        E                 G#m7
 Although you are biased I love your advice
     F#m7
Your comebacks they're quick
                     A                B
And probably have to do with your insecurities
          E
There's no shame in being crazy
  G#m7
Depending on how you take these
F#m7                          A               B
Words i'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

[Pre-Chorus]
Aadd9
     Hey,
                                 Badd11
and what a beautiful mess this is
Aadd9                                 Badd11     B7
     But it's like 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 "kind and courteous" is    a life I've heard
        F#m7                    A                 B
But it's    nice to say that we played in the dirt ,
       F#7add11
oh dear
      A           F#7add11           A
Cause here we are,        here we are

[Bridge]
E
 Here we are
G#m7
    Here we are
F#m7
    Here we are
A           B
 Here we are
E
 Here we are
G#m7
    Here we are
F#m7
    Here we are
A            B   Aadd9
 We're still here

[Pre-Chorus]
                             Badd11 Badd11
What a beautiful mess this is
Aadd9                                      Badd11      B7
     But it's like taking a guess when the only answer is
"Yes"

[Chorus]
       E                  G#m7
Through timeless words and    priceless pictures
     F#m7              A       B
We'll    fly like birds not of this earth
   E                   G#m7
And tides they turn and    hearts disfigure
          F#m7                      A           B
But that's    no concern when we're wounded together
      E                    G#m7
And we tore our dresses and    stained our shirts
        F#m7
But it's    nice today.
        A                B
Oh, the wait was so worth it
E G#m7 F#m7 A Bsus4
