[F#]
It's not simple to say that [C#] most days I don't recognize me
[D#m] That the issues in this apron, that place and its patrons
[B] 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 [D#m] it's true I was never attention's sweet center
[B] I still remember that girl
[F#] She's imperfect, but she tries
She [C#] is good, but she lies
She [D#m] is hard on herself
[D#m] She [B] is broken and won't ask for help
[F#] She is messy, but she's kind
She [C#] is lonely most of the time
She [D#m] is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful [B] pie
She is gone, but she [C#] used to [F#] be mine
And it's not what I asked for
[C#] Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
[D#m] And carves out a person and makes you believe it's [B] all true
Now I got you
[F#] You're not what I asked for
If [A#] I'm honest I know
I would give it all back for [D#m] a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending [B] or two
For that girl that I knew
[F#] Who was reckless, just enough
Who [C#] gets hurt, but who learns how to tough it up
[D#m] And she's bruised and got used by a man who [B] can't love
Then she'll get stuck in [F#] me
She's scared that's inside [A#] her getting stronger each day
So it plainly reminds her [D#m] to fight
Choose a little to bring back the fire
[B] That's been gone
You used to [F#] be mine
[A#] Oh, you used to [D#m] be mine
[B]
[F#] She is messy, but she's kind
[C#] She is alone most of the time
[D#m] She is all of this mixed up and baked in a [B] beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be [F#]
