[INTRO]
F

[VERSE]
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                                       Dm
I'm not anything like I used to be, although it's true
Dm
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
        Bb                         F
She is gone, but she used to be mine

[VERSE]
F
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
Bb
And now I've got you

F
And you're not what I asked for
          A7
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
Bb
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
    Bbm
And then she'll get stuck

          F
And be scared of the life that's inside her
          A7
Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
    Dm                                     C              Bb
To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes
Bb                                 F A7
That's been gone, but used to be mine
            Dm Bb
Used to be mine

[CHORUS]
         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
        Bb                       F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
