She Used To Be Mine chords by Sara Bareilles (Official Version)
Intro 1
F
Verse 1
F
It's not simple to say
C
Most days I don't recognize me
Dm
That these shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
Bb
Have taken more than I gave them
F
It's not easy to know
C
I'm not anything like I used to be,
Dm
although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
Bb
I still remember that girl
Chorus 1
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 2
F
It's not what I asked for
C
Sometimes life just slips in
through a back door
Dm
And carves out a person
Bb
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 2
F
Who'll be reckless, just enough
C
Who'll get hurt,
but who learns how to toughen up
Dm
When she's bruised and gets used by a man
Bb
who can't love
And then she'll get stuck
F
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,
F/C
Bb
to bring back the fire in her eyes
F
A7
That's been gone, but used to be mine
Dm
Bb
Used to be mine
Chorus 3
F
She is messy, but she's kind
C
She is lonely most of the time
Dm
She is all of this mixed up
F/C
Bb
and baked in a beautiful pie
F
She is gone, but she used to be mine
She Used To Be Mine
