F
It's not simple to say
C
Most days, I don't recognize me
      Dm
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 to be although
          Dm
It's true, I was never attention's sweet center
  Bb
I still remember that girl

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

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

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

         F
Who'll be reckless just enough
          C
Who'll 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 mine

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