C
It's not simple to say, but
G
Most days I don't recognize me
Am
That these shoes and this apron, that
place and its patrons
F
Have taken more than I gave them
[Verse 2]
C
It's not easy to know
G
I'm not anything like I used to be
Am
Although it's true I was never
attention's sweet center
F
I still remember that girl
[Chorus]
C
She's imperfect but she tries
G
She is good but she lies
Am
She is hard on herself
F
She is broken and won't ask for help
C
She is messy but she's kind
G G7
She is lonely most of the time
Am
She is all of this mixed up
Am7/G F
And baked in a beautiful pie
C
She is gone but she used to be mine
[Verse 3]
C
It's not what I asked for
G
Sometimes life just slips in through a
back door
Am
And carves out a person
F
And makes you believe it's all true,
and now I've got you
C
And you're not what I asked for
E E7
If I'm honest I know I would give it
all back
Am
For a chance to start over
Am7/G F
And rewrite an ending or two, for that
girl that I knew
C
Who was reckless, just enough
G
Who gets hurt, but who learns how to
G7 Am
toughen up when she's bruised
Am7/G F
And gets used by a man who can't love,
and then she'll get stuck
C
And be scared of the life that's inside her
E
Growing stronger each day 'til it
E7
finally reminds her
Am
To fight just a little
F
And bring back the fire in her eyes
C E E7
That's been gone but used to be mine,
Am
used to be mine
F
Ooh, Ooh
[Chorus]
C
She is messy but she's kind
G G7
She is lonely most of the time
Am
She is all of this mixed up and baked
Am7/G F
in a beautiful pie
C
She is gone but she used to be mine
