F F
It's not simple to say
C C
Most days, I don't recognize me
Dm Dm
These shoes and this apron

This place and its patrons
Bb Bb
Have taken more than I gave them

F F
It's not easy to know
C C
I'm not anything that I used to be oh
Dm Dm
It's true, I was never attention's sweet center
Bb Bb
I still remember that girl


F F
She's imperfect but she tries
C C
She is good but she lies
Dm Dm
She is hard on herself
Bb Bb
She is broken but won't ask for help
F F
She is messy but she's kind
C C
She is lonely most of the time
Dm Dm
She is all of this mixed up and
Bb Bb
baked in a beautiful pie
F F
She is gone but she used to be mine


F F
It's not what I asked for
C C
Sometimes life slips in through a backdoor
Dm Dm Bb Bb
and carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true

Now I've got you
F F
You're not what I asked for
A7 A7
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
Dm Dm
for a chance to start over
Bb Bb
Rewrite an ending or two

for the girl that I knew

F F
Who'd be reckless just enough
C C
Who'd get hurt but who learns how to tough it up
Dm Dm
When she's bruised, and gets used
Bb Bb
By a man who can't love

Then she'll get stuck
F F
And be scared of the life that's inside her
A7 A7
Growing stronger each day

Til it finally reminds her
Dm Dm
That fight just a little
Bb Bb
To bring back the fire in her eyes
F F A7 A7
That's been gone but it used to be mine
Dm Dm C C
Used to mine

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

I just used simple 4-3-2-1-2-3 picking pattern worked well with this song

FYI if you were trying to match your first singing pitch to the original like me… the OG is in F# lol this is in F (half step down, probably for easier chord fingerings)
