[F]
It's not simple to say
But [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
It's [F] 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
She [C] is good
But she lies
She [Dm] is hard on herself
She [Bb] is broken
And won't ask for help
[F] She is messy
But she's kind
She [C] is lonely
Most of the time
She [Dm] is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful [Bb] pie
She is gone
But she used [F] to be mine
It's not what I asked for Sometimes [C] life
Just slips in through a back door
[Dm] He carves out a person
And makes you believe it's [Bb] all true
Now I've got you
[F] You're not what I asked for
[Dm] If [A] I'm honest I know
I would give it all back
For [Dm] a chance to start over
And be right in [C] the middle of [Bb] it too
For the girl that I knew
[F] Who'd be reckless just enough
Who [C] can't hurt
But who learns how to toughen up
When [Dm] she's bruised
And gets used by a man
Who [Bb] can't love
And then she'll get stuck
[F] And be scared
Of the life that's inside her
[A] Growing stronger each day
Till it finally reminds her
[Dm] To fight just a little
To bring back the fight
[Bb] That's been gone
But you used [F] to be mine
[A]
Used to [Dm] be mine
She [Bb]
[F] is messy
But she's kind
She [C] is lonely
Most of the time
She [Dm] is all of this
Mixed up and baked in a beautiful [Bb] pie
She is gone
But she used to be [F] mine
