Intro
[F]
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
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
[Dm]
Although it's true, I was never attention's sweet center
[Bb]
I still remember that girl
Chorus 1
[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
[Bb]
And baked in a beautiful pie
[F]
She is gone but she used to be mine
Verse 2
[F]
And it's not what I asked for
[C]
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
[Dm] [Bb]
And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
And 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
Chorus 2
[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
[Dm/C] [Bb]
To bring back the fire in her eyes
[F] [A7]
That's been gone but used to be mine
[Dm] [Bb]
Used to be mi-i-ine
Ending
[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/C] [Bb]
And baked in a beautiful pie
N.C. [F]
She is gone but she used to be mine
