She Used To Be Mine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It's not simple to say
That most [A]days I don't recognize me
That these [Bm]shoes and this apron
That place and it's patrons
[G]Have taken more than I gave [D]them
It's not easy to know
[A]I'm not anything like I used to be
Although it's [Bm]true
I was never attention's sweet center
[G]I still remember that girl

[Verse 2]
She's [D]imperfect but she tries
She [A]is good but she lies
She is [Bm]hard on herself
She [G]is broken and won't ask for help
She [D]is messy but she's kind
She [A]is lonely most of the time
She [Bm]is all of this mixed up
And baked in a beautiful [G]pie
She is gone but she used to be [D]mine

[Verse 3]
[D]
It's not what I asked for
Some[A]times life just slips
in through a back door
[F#]And carv[Bm]es out a person
And makes you believe it's all [G]true
And now I've [D]got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm [F#]honest I know I would
give it all back
[Bm]For a chance to start over
And rewrite an ending or [G]two
For the girl that I knew

[Verse 4]
Who'll [D]be reckless just enough
[A]Who'll get hurt but
Who learns how to toughen
[Bbdim]up when she's [Bm]bruised
And gets used by a man
[A]who can[G]'t love
And then she'll get stuck and [D]be scared
Of the life that's inside her
Grow[F#]ing stronger each day
'Til it finally reminds her
[Bm]To fight just a little
To bring back the fire in her [G]eyes
That's been gone but it used
to be [D]mine
[F#]

[Verse 5]
[F#sus4]
Used [F#]to be m[Bm]ine[G]
She [D]is messy but she's kind
She [A]is lonely most of the time
She [Bm]is all of this mixed up and
baked in a beauti[D]ful [G]pie
She is [G]gone but she used to be mine
