Verse:
F
 Itʼs not simple to say
     C
that Most days I donʼt recognize me
           Dm
With these shoes and this apron
That place and itʼs patrons
     Bb
Have taken more than Iʼve gave them
F
 Itʼs not easy to know
        C
Iʼm not anything like I used be
              Dm
Although itʼs true
I was never attention sweet center
    Bb
But I still remember that girl

Chorus:
        F
Sheʼs imperfect but she tries
       C
She is good but she lies
       Dm
She is hard on herself
       Bb
She is broken and wonʼt ask for help
       F
She is messy but sheʼs kind
       C
She is lonely, most of the time
       Dm
She is all of this, mixed up
                         Bb
And baked in a beautiful pie
                                F
She is gone, but she used to be mine

Verse:
F
 And itʼs not what I asked for
          C
Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor
Dm                                                   Bb
Carves out the person and makes you believe itʼs all true
And now Iʼve got you
F
 And youʼre not what I asked for
       A7
If Iʼm 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

Chorus:
         F
Would be reckless, just enough
        C
Who get hurt
                                             Dm
But who learns how to toughen up, when sheʼs bruised
                               Bb
And gets used by a man who canʼt love
                                 F
And then sheʼll get stuck and be scared
Of the life thatʼs inside her
        A7
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
Thatʼs been gone, but it used to be mine
           Dm     Bb
Used to be mine

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