Verse 1
[F] It's not simple to say
That most [C] days, I don't recognize me
That these [Dm] shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
Have [Bb] taken more than I gave them
[F] It's not easy to know
I'm not [C] anything that I used to be although
It's true,[Dm] I was never attention's sweet center
I [Bb] still remember that girl
Chorus 1
[F] She's imperfect but she tries
She is [C] good but she lies
She is[Dm] hard on herself
She is[Bb] broken and won't ask for help
She is [F] messy but she's kind
She is [C] lonely most of the time
She is [Dm] all of this mixed up and
baked in a beautiful [Bb] pie
She is gone but she used to be [F] mine
Verse 2
[F] And it's not what I asked for
Sometimes[C] life just slips in through a backdoor
and [Dm] carves out a person
and makes you believe it's all[Bb] true
And now I've got you
[F] And you're not what I asked for
If I'm [A7/C#] honest I know I would give it all back
for a [Dm] chance to start over
And rewrite an ending[Bb] or two
for the girl that I knew
Chorus 2
Who'd be [F] reckless just enough
Who'd get [C] hurt but who learns how to toughen up
When she's [Dm] bruised and gets used
By a man who can't [Bb] love
And then she'll get stuck
And be [F] scared of the life that's inside her
[A7/C#] Growing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
To [Dm] fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her [Bb] eyes
That's been gone but used to be [F] mine [A7/C#]
Used to be [Dm] mine [Bb]
Ending
She [F] is messy but she's kind
She is [C] lonely most of the time
She is [Dm] all of this mixed up
and baked in a [Dm/C] beautiful [Bb] pie
She is gone but she used to be [F] mine
