A A Beautiful Mess by Jason Mraz

[Intro]
E E G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7 A A B B

[Verse]
E E
You’ve got the best of both worlds
G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man
A A B B
And lift him back up again
E E G#m7 G#m7
You are strong, but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
And based on your body language and shouted cursive I’ve been reading
E E G#m7 G#m7
Your style is quite selective, but your mind is rather reckless
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Well, I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is.

[Pre-Chorus]
A A B B
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is.
A A B B
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

[Chorus]
E E G#m7 G#m7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Kind of turn themselves into knives
E E G#m7 G#m7
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B F#7 F#7
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
A A F#7 F#7 A A E E*
‘Cause here we are, here we are

[Interlude]
E E G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7 A A B B

[Verse]
E E G#m7 G#m7
Although you were biased I love your advice
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
E E G#m7 G#m7
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

[Pre-Chorus]
A A B B
And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
A A B B
It’s like; we are picking up trash in dresses

[Chorus]
E E G#m7 G#m7
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Kind of turn themselves into blades
E E G#m7 G#m7
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
F#7 F#7 A A F#7 F#7 A A
‘Cause here, here we are, here we are

[Verse]
E E G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, here we are
E E G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
Here we are, here we are, here we are, we’re still here

[Pre-Chorus]
A A B B
And what a beautiful mess this is
A A B B
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

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

[Outro]
E E G#m7 G#m7 F#m7 F#m7 A A B B
