Sara Bareilles - She used to be mine

^CIt's not simple to say ^GMost days I don't recognize me ^AmWith these shoes and this apron ^AmThat place and its patrons ^FHave taken more than I gave them ^CIt's not easy to know ^GI'm not anything like I used to be ^AmAlthough it's true ^AmI was never attention's sweet center ^FBut I still remember that girl

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

^CAnd it's not what I asked for ^GSometimes life just slips in through a backdoor And ^Amcarves out a person and makes you believe it's all ^Ftrue ^FNow I've got you ^CAnd you're not what I asked for ^EIf I'm honest, I know I would give it all back ^AmFor a chance to start over ^AmAnd rewrite an ending or t^Fwo ^FFor the girl that I knew

Who'll be^C reckless, just enough Who'll get ^Ghurt ^GBut who learns how to toughen up when she's ^Ambruised ^AmAnd gets used by a man who can't^F love ^FAnd then she'll get stuck and be^C scared ^COf the life that's inside her ^EGrowing stronger each day ^ETill it finally reminds her ^AmTo fight just a little ^AmTo bring back the fire in her e^Fyes ^FThat's been gone, but used to be ^Cmine ^{E E}Used to b^Ame mine ^F

^CShe is messy, but she's kind ^GShe is lonely, most of the time ^AmShe is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful^F pie ^FShe is gone, but she used to be^C mine
