Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine Chords

(Intro)  F
 
It's not simple to say
      C
That most days I don't recognize me
            Dm
That these shoes and this apron
 
That place and its patrons
     Bb                          Bb C F
Have taken more than I gave them
 
 
It's not easy to know
         C
I'm not anything like I used to be
                Dm
Although 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
                          Bb
And baked in a beautiful pie
                                 F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
 
 
It's not what I asked for
           C
Sometimes life
 
Just slips in through a backdoor
     Dm
And carves out a person
                                Bb
Who makes you believe it's all true
                       F
And now I've got you
 
 
You're not what I asked for
        A/C#
If I'm honest, I know
 
I would give it all back for
   Dm
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
         A/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    A/C#
That's been gone, but used to be mine
 
            Dm  Bb
Used to be 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
                         Bb
And baked in a beautiful pie
                                F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
