She Used To Be Mine

F It's not simple to say C Most days, I don't recognize me Dm These shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Bb Have taken more than I gave them F It's not easy to know C I'm not anything like I used to be although Dm It's true, I was never attention's sweet center Bb I still remember that girl 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 F She is messy but she's kind C She is lonely most of the time Dm She is all of this mixed up and Bb baked in a beautiful pie F She is gone but she used to be mine F It's not what I asked for C Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor Dm Bb and carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true Now I've got you F And you're not what I asked for A7/C# If I'm honest I know I would give it all back Dm for a chance to start over Bb And rewrite an ending or two for the girl that I knew F Who'll be reckless just enough C Who'll get hurt but who learns how to toughen up Dm When she's bruised, and gets used Bb By a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck F And be scared of the life that's inside her A7/C# Growing stronger each day Til it finally reminds her Dm To fight just a little Bb To bring back the fire in her eyes F A7/C# That's been gone but used to be mine Dm C Used to mine F She is messy but she's kind C She is lonely most of the time Dm She is all of this mixed up C Bb and baked in a beautiful pie F She is gone but she used to be mine
