Jason Mraz, Beauty In Ugly
No Capo
Standard Tuning
{Intro}
E G#m7 F#m7 A B
{Verse}
E
You’ve got the best of both worlds
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 G#m7
You are strong, but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
F#m7 A B
And based on your body language and shouted cursive I’ve 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
It’s like picking up trash in dresses
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 can call it fiction
F#m7 A B F#7
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
A F#7 A E*
‘Cause here we are, here we are
{Interlude}
E* G#m7 F#m7 A B
{Verse}
E G#m7
Although you were biased I love your advice
F#m7 A B
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
E G#m7
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these
F#m7 A B
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging
{Pre-Chorus}
A B
And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
A B
It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses
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 I’ve heard
F#m7 A B
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
F#7 A F#7 A
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
{Verse}
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, we’re still here
{Pre-Chorus}
A B
And what a beautiful mess this is
A B
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes
E G#m7
And through timeless words in 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 A B
But it’s nice today, oh the wait was so worth it
{Outro}
E G#m7 F#m7 A B
