She Used To Be Mine

[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 be,
                  Dm
although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
Bb
I still remember that girl

[Chorus]
        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                                            Bb
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
                                F
She is gone, but she used to be mine

[Verse 2]
F
 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
         A
If I'm honest,
I know I would give it all back
      Dm                                               Bb
For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew

[Chorus]
         F
Who'll be reckless, just enough
           C
Who'll get hurt,
but who learns how to toughen up
           Dm                                      Bb
When she's bruised and gets used by a man who 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 'til it finally reminds her
   Dm
To fight just a little,
                  Dm/C        Bb
to bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone, but used to be mine

[Bridge]
F A
               Dm Bb
Used to be mine

[Outro]
    F
She is messy, but she's kind
       C
She is lonely most of the time
       Dm                                            Bb
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
                                    F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
