She Used To Be Mine Chords by Sara Bareilles

[Start]

[Verse]
F                       
■ It's not simple to say
C                           Dm
Most days I don't recognize me
      Dm                  
These shoes and this apron
                   Bb     
That place and its patrons
                                F
Have taken more than I gave 'em ■
         F           
It's not easy to know
C                                 
I'm not anything like I used to be
Dm                
Although it's true
                            Bb    
I was never attention sweet center
        Bb                
I still remember that girl


[Chorus]
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


[Verse]
              F          
It's not what I asked for
C                                               
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
Dm                     
And carves out a person
                           Bb      
And makes you believe it's all true
                     F
And now I've got you ■
                    F          
And you're not what I asked for
A7                                           
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
Dm                        
For a chance to start over
                      Bb    
And rewrite an ending or two
Bb                      
For the girl that I knew


[Chorus]
F                          
Who be reckless just enough
C               
Who can hurt but
                             Dm                
Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised
                           Bb        
And gets used by a man who can't love
                          F            
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
       F                     
Of the life that's inside her
A7                       
Growing stronger each day
A7                         
'til it finally reminds her
Dm                    
To fight just a little
                              Bb  
To bring back the fire in her eyes
                             F     A7  
That's been gone but it used to be mine
Dm              Bb
Used to be mine ■ 


[Outro]
F                          
She is messy but she's 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
