Capo 5
Chord Progression:
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF (repeated throughout the song)

Verse 1:
C majorC
It's not simple to say
G+G
Most days I don't recognize me
A minorAm
With these shoes and this apron
A minorAm
That place and it's patrons
FF
Have taken more than I've gave them
C majorC
It's not easy to know
G+G
I'm not anything like I used be
A minorAm
Although it's true
A minorAm
I was never attention sweet center
FF
But I still remember that girl

Chorus:
C majorC
She's imperfect but she tries
G+G
She is good but she lies
A minorAm
She is hard on herself
FF
She is broken and won't ask for help
C majorC
She is messy but she's kind
G+G
She is lonely, most of the time
A minorAm
She is all of this, mixed up
A minorAm           FF
And baked in a beautiful pie
FF               C majorC
She is gone, but she used to be mine

Verse 2:
C majorC
And it's not what I asked for
G+G
Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor
A minorAm                         FF
Carves out the person and makes you believe it's all true
FF
And now I've got you
C majorC
And you're not what I asked for
G+G
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
A minorAm
For a chance to start over
A minorAm           FF
And rewrite an ending or two
FF
For the girl that I knew

Verse 3:
C majorC
Would be reckless, just enough
G+G
Who get hurt
G+G                     A minorAm
But who learns how to toughen up, when she's bruised
A minorAm               FF
And gets used by a man who can't love
FF                C majorC
And then she'll get stuck and be scared
C majorC
Of the life that's inside her
G+G
Growing stronger each day
G+G
Til it finally reminds her
A minorAm
To fight just a little
A minorAm              FF
To bring back the fire in her eyes
FF                 C majorC    G+G
That's been gone, but it used to be mine
G+G    A minorAm   FF
Used to be mine

Outro:
C majorC
She is messy, but she's kind
G+G
She is lonely, most of the time
A minorAm                          FF
She is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful pie
FF               C majorC
