[F]
It's not simple to say that [C] most days I don't recognize me
That [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 it's [Dm] 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
[C] Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
[Dm] And 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 rewinding or [Bb] two
For the girl that I knew
[F] Who'll be reckless just enough
Who'll [C] get 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 won
But used [F] to be mine
[A] Used to [Dm] be mine
[Bb] She [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 [F] to be mine
It's not simple to say that [C] most days I don't recognize me
That [Dm] these shoes and this apron, that place and its patrons
[Bb] Have taken more than I gave them
