Verse I:
FF
 It's not simple to say
   C majorC
that Most days I don't recognize me
      DmDm
With these shoes and this apron

That place and it's patrons
   Bb majorBb
Have taken more than I've gave them
FF
 It's not easy to know
    C majorC
I'm not anything like I used be
       DmDm
Although it's true

I was never attention sweet center
  Bb majorBb
But I still remember that girl

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

Verse II:
FF
 And it's not what I asked for
     C majorC
Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor
DmDm                          Bb majorBb
Carves out the person and makes you believe it's all true

And now I've got you
FF
 And you're not what I asked for
    A7A7
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
   DmDm
For a chance to start over
             Bb majorBb
And rewrite an ending or two

For the girl that I knew

Chorus:
     FF
Would be reckless, just enough
    C majorC
Who get hurt
                       DmDm
But who learns how to toughen up, when she's bruised
                Bb majorBb
And gets used by a man who can't love
                 FF
And then she'll get stuck and be scared

Of the life that's inside her
    A7A7
Growing stronger each day

Til it finally reminds her
  DmDm
To fight just a little
               Bb majorBb
To bring back the fire in her eyes
                  FF   A7A7
That's been gone, but it used to be mine
      DmDm   Bb majorBb
Used to be mine

    FF
She is messy, but she's kind
    C majorC
She is lonely, most of the time
    DmDm                       Bb majorBb
She is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful pie
                FF
