Chords for Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine (Official Video)

[F] .
It's not simple to say that [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.
It's [F] 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.
She [C] 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.
She [C] is lonely most of the time.
[Dm] She is all of this mixed up and baked in a [Bb] beautiful pie.
She is gone, but she [F] used to be mine .
It's not what I asked for.
[C] Sometimes light just slips in through a back door.
[Dm] And carves out a person and makes you believe it's [Bb] all true.
Now I've got you, [F] and you're not what I asked for.
[Dm] If [A] I'm honest I know I would give it all back.
[Dm] For a chance to start over and rewrite [Bb] what's true.
For the girl that I knew, [F] who'd be reckless just enough .
[C] Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up [Dm] when she's bruised.
And gets used by a man who [Bb] can't love.
And then she'll get stuck [F] and be scared.
Of the life that's inside her, [A] growing stronger each day.
Till it finally reminds her [Dm] to fight just a little.
To bring back the fire [Bb] that's been gone.
Who used [F] to be mine .
[A] Used to [Dm] be mine .
[Bb] She [F] is messy, but she's kind.
She [C] is lonely most of the time.
She [Dm] is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful [Bb] pie.
She is gone, [F] but she used to be mine .
