She Used To Be Mine Lyrics with Chords
[Verse – 1]
[C]It’s not simple to say
Most [G]days I don’t recognize me
With these [Am]shoes and this apron
[Am]That place and its patrons
[F]Have taken more than I gave them
[Verse – 2]
[C]It’s not easy to know
[G]I’m not anything like I used to be
[Am]Although it’s true
[Am]I was never attention’s sweet center
[F]But I still remember that girl
[Chorus]
She’s [C]imperfect, but she tries
She is [G]good, but she lies
She is [Am]hard on herself
She is [F]broken and won’t ask for help
She is [C]messy, but she’s kind
She is [G]lonely most of the time
She is [Am]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 – 3]
[C]It’s not what I asked for
[G]Sometimes life
Just slips in through a backdoor
And [Am]carves out a person
Who makes you believe it’s all [F]true
[F]Now I’ve got you
[Verse – 4]
[C]You’re not what I asked for
[E]If I’m honest, I know
I would give it all back
For a [Am]chance to start over
[Am]And rewrite an ending or [F]two
[F]For the girl that I knew
[Bridge]
Who’ll be [C]reckless, just enough
Who’ll get [G]hurt
[G]But who learns how to toughen up
When she’s [Am]bruised
[Am]And gets used by a man who can’t [F]love
[F]And then she’ll get stuck
And be [C]scared of the life that’s inside her
[E]Growing stronger each day
[E]‘Til it finally reminds her
[Am]To fight just a little
[Am]To bring back the fire in her eyes
[F]That’s been gone but used to be [C]mine [E]
[E]Used to [Am]be mine [F]
[Outro]
[C]She is messy, but she’s kind
She is [G]lonely most of the time
She is [Am]all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful [F]pie
[F]She is gone, but she used to be [C]mine
