She Used to Be Mine Sara Bareilles
Capo 5
[Cbord Progression]
C G Am F (repeated throughout the song)
[Verse 1]
[C]It's not simple to say
[G]Most days I don't recognize me
[Am]With these shoes and this apron
[Am]That place and it's patrons
[F]Have taken more than I've gave them
[C]It's not easy to know
[G]I'm not anything like I used be
[Am]Although it's true
[Am]I was never attention sweet center
[F]But I still remember that girl
[Cborus]
[C]She's imperfect but she tries
[G]She is good but she lies
[Am]She is hard on herself
[F]She is broken and won't ask for help
[C]She is messy but she's kind
[G]She is lonely, most of the time
[Am]She is all of this, mixed up
[Am]And baked in a beautiful[F] pie
[F]She is gone, but she used to be[C] mine
[Verse 2]
[C]And it's not what I asked for
[G]Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor
[Am]Carves out the person and makes you believe it's all[F] true
[F]And now I've got you
[C]And you're not what I asked for
[G]If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
[Am]For a chance to start over
[Am]And rewrite an ending or[F] two
[F]For the girl that I knew
[Verse 3]
[C]Would be reckless, just enough
[G]Who get hurt
[G]But who learns how to toughen up, when she'[Am]s bruised
[Am]And gets used by a man who can't[F] love
[F]And then she'll get stuck and be[C] scared
[C]Of the life that's inside her
[G]Growing stronger each day
[G]Til it finally reminds her
[Am]To fight just a little
[Am]To bring back the fire in her[F] eyes
[F]That's been gone, but it used to b[C]e mine[G]
[G]Used to b[Am]e mine[F]
[Outro]
[C]She is messy, but she's kind
[G]She is lonely, most of the time
[Am]She is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful[F] pie
[F]She is gone, but she used to be[C] mine
