She Used To Be Mine

C
It's not simple to say, but
      G
Most days I don't recognize me
           Am
That these shoes and this apron, that

place and its patrons
     F
Have taken more than I gave them

[Verse 2]
C
It's not easy to know
        G
I'm not anything like I used to be
              Am
Although it's true I was never

attention's sweet center
F
I still remember that girl

[Chorus]
         C
She's imperfect but she tries
       G
She is good but she lies
       Am
She is hard on herself
       F
She is broken and won't ask for help
       C
She is messy but she's kind
       G                  G7
She is lonely most of the time
       Am
She is all of this mixed up
                Am7/G    F
And baked in a beautiful pie
                               C
She is gone but she used to be mine

[Verse 3]
C
It's not what I asked for
          G
Sometimes life just slips in through a

back door
    Am
And carves out a person
                                F
And makes you believe it's all true,

and now I've got you
     C
And you're not what I asked for
       E                     E7
If I'm honest I know I would give it

all back
       Am
For a chance to start over
                Am7/G     F
And rewrite an ending or two, for that

girl that I knew
         C
Who was reckless, just enough
         G
Who gets hurt, but who learns how to
G7                    Am
toughen up when she's bruised
                    Am7/G         F
And gets used by a man who can't love,

and then she'll get stuck
        C
And be scared of the life that's inside her
        E
Growing stronger each day 'til it
E7
finally reminds her
   Am
To fight just a little
                               F
And bring back the fire in her eyes
                                C    E  E7
That's been gone but used to be mine,
           Am
used to be mine
  F
Ooh, Ooh

[Chorus]
       C
She is messy but she's kind
       G                  G7
She is lonely most of the time
       Am
She is all of this mixed up and baked
     Am7/G     F
in a beautiful pie
                               C
She is gone but she used to be mine
