Verse 2:
Far far, there's this little girl
she was praying for something good to happen to her
from time to time there're colors and shapes
dazeling her eyes, tickeling her hands
they invent her a new world with
oil skies and aquarel rivers
but don't you run away already
please don't go oh oh
Chorus:
how can you stay outside?
there's a beautiful mess inside
how an you stay outside?
there's a beautiful mess inside
take a deep breath and dive
there's a beautiful mess inside
how can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess
beautiful mess inside
Middle:
GDEmC
oh beautiful, beautiful
Verse 3:
far far there's this little girl
she was praying for something big to happen to her
every night she ears beautiful strange music
it's everywhere there's nowhere to hide
but if it fades she begs
"oh lord don't take it from me, don't take it yourselves"
i guess I'll have to give it birth
to give it birth
Bridge:
C9GEm7D
I guess, I guess, I guess I have to give it birth
C9G
I guess I have to, have to give it birth
Em7C9DAm
there's a beautiful mess inside and it's everywhere
C9G
so shake it yourself now deep inside
DAm
deeper than you ever dared
Em7C9
deeper than you ever dared
End:
DAm
there's a beautiful mess inside
C9GD
beautiful mess inside
