It's not easy to know C I'm not anything like I used be Dm Although it's true I was never attention sweet center Bb But I still remember that girl Chorus: F She's imperfect but she tries C She is good but she lies Dm She is hard on herself Bb She is broken and won't ask for help F She is messy but she's kind C She is lonely, most of the time Dm She is all of this, mixed up Bb And baked in a beautiful pie F She is gone, but she used to be mine Verse II: F And it's not what I asked for C Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor Dm Bb Carves out the person and makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you F And you're not what I asked for A7 If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back Dm For a chance to start over Bb And rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Chorus: F Would be reckless, just enough C Who get hurt Dm But who learns how to toughen up, when she's bruised Bb And gets used by a man who can't love F And then she'll get stuck and be scared Of the life that's inside her A7 Growing stronger each day Til it finally reminds her Dm To fight just a little Bb To bring back the fire in her eyes F A7 That's been gone, but it used to be mine Dm Bb Used to be mine F She is messy, but she's kind C She is lonely, most of the time Dm Bb She is all of this, mixed up, and baked in a beautiful pie F
