[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 that I used to be although
Dm
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 and
Bb
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 backdoor
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'd be reckless just enough
C
Who'd 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
Bb
To bring back the fire in her eyes
F A7/C#
That's been gone but used to be mine
Dm Bb
Used to be mine
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
F
She is gone but she used to be mine
