Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess
[Intro] E..E
You’ve got the best of both worlds
Abm Gbm
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
Abm
Humble but you’re greedy
Gbm
Based on your body language
A B
Your shouted cursive I’ve been reading
E
You’re style is quite selective
Abm
Though your mind is rather reckless
Gbm
Well I guess it just suggests
A B
That this is just what happiness is
[Bridge]
A B
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
A B
It’s like picking up trash in dresses
[Chorus]
E Abm
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Gbm A B
Kind of turn themselves into knives
E Abm
And don’t mind my nerve, you can call it fiction
Gbm A B Gb
Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
A G A E
Cause here we are, here we are
E Abm
Although you were biased, I love your advice
Gbm
Your comebacks they’re quick
A B
And probably have to do with your insecurities
E
There’s no shame in being crazy
Abm
Depending on how you take these
Gbm A B
Words they’re paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging
[Bridge]
A B
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
A B
It’s like picking up trash in dresses
[Chorus]
E Abm
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Gbm A B
Kind of turn themselves into blades
E Abm
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
Gbm A B
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
A Gb A E
‘Cause here we are, here we are
E Ab Gb A B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are
E Ab Gb A B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, we’re still here
[Bridge]
A B
And what a beautiful mess this is
A B
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
[Chorus]
E Abm
And through timeless words and priceless pictures
Gbm A B
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
E Abm
And tides they turn, hearts disfigure
Gbm A B
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
E Abm
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
Gbm A B
But it’s nice today, all the wait was so worth it.
