[Intro]
F (x4)
[Verse 1]
F
It's not simple to say
C
That most days I don't recognize me
Dm
That these shoes and this apron
Dm
That place and it's patrons
Bb
Have taken more than I've gave them
Bb Fsus4 F
F
It's not easy to know
C
I'm not anything like I used be
Dm
Although it's true
Dm
I was never attention's sweet center
Bb
I still remember that girl
[Chorus 1]
Bb Fsus4 F
She's imperfect but she tries
C
She is good but she lies
Dm
She is hard on herself
Bb
She is broken and won't ask for help
Bb Fsus4 F
She is messy but she's kind
C
She is lonely, most of the time
Dm
She is all of this, mixed up
Dm Bb
And baked in a beautiful pie
F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
[Verse 2]
F
It's not what I asked for
C
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
Dm
And carves out a person
Dm Bb
And makes you believe it's all true
Bb
And now I've got you
F
And you're not what I asked for
A A7
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
Dm
For a chance to start over
Dm Bb
And rewrite an ending or two
Bb
For the girl that I knew
[Chorus 2]
F
Who'll be reckless, just enough
C
Who'll get hurt
C Dm
But who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
Dm Bb
And gets used by a man who can't love
Bb F
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
F
Of the life that's inside her
A
Growing stronger each day
A7
'Til it finally reminds her
Dm
To fight just a little
Dm Bb
To bring back the fire in her eyes
Bb F
That's been gone, but it used to be mine
A A7
A7 Dm
Used to be mine
Bb
[Refrain]
(strum once)
F
She is messy but she's kind
C
She is lonely most of the time
Dm Bb
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
