She Used To Be Mine Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Sara Bareilles
[Verse 1]

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

This place and its patrons
     A#
Have taken more than I gave them
F
It's not easy to know
     C
I'm not anything that I used to be although
          Dm
It's true, I was never attention's sweet center
  A#
I still remember that girl


[Verse 2]
 
F
She's imperfect but she tries
       C
She is good but she lies
      Dm
She is hard on herself 
     A#
She is broken but 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 and 
                     A#
baked in a beautiful pie
                               F
She is gone but she used to be mine


[Verse 3]

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

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


[Verse 4]

         F
Who'd be reckless just enough
          C            
Who'd get hurt but who learns how to tough it up
           Dm
When she's bruised, and gets used
                   A#
By a man who can't love
         
Then she'll get stuck
       F
And be scared of the life that's inside her
          A
Growing stronger each day
    
Til it finally reminds her 
     Dm
That fight just a little 
                              A#
To bring back the fire in her eyes
                                   F        A
That's been gone but it used to be mine
       Dm          C
Used to mine


[Bridge]

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