She Used To Be Mine chords by Sara Bareilles (Ver. 2)

• Capo on 5th

Capo 5
Chord Progression:
C G Am F (repeated throughout the song)

Verse 1:
C
It's not simple to say
G
Most days I don't recognize me
Am
With these shoes and this apron
Am
That place and it's patrons
F
Have taken more than I've gave them
C

It's not easy to know
G
I'm not anything like I used be
Am
Although it's true
Am
I was never attention sweet center
F
But I still remember that girl

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

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

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

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