Perfect song btw.
No Capo
I worked this out on piano so if you don't want to play these chords you can put a capo
on and transpose
it down for more straight forward chords.
[Intro]
F#
F#
It's not simple to say
C#
That most days, I don't recognize me
D#m
That these shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
B
Have taken more than I gave them
F#
It's not easy to know
C#
I'm not anything that I used to be although
D#m
It's true, I was never attention's sweet center
B
I still remember that girl
F#
She's imperfect but she tries
C#
She is good but she lies
D#m
She is hard on herself
B
She is broken but won't ask for help
F#
She is messy but she's kind
C#
She is lonely most of the time
D#m
She is all of this mixed up and
B
Baked in a beautiful pie
F#
She is gone but she used to be mine
F#
And it's not what I asked for
C#
Sometimes life just slips in through a backdoor
D#m B
And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
F#
You're not what I asked for
A#7/D
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
D#m
for a chance to start over
B
And rewrite an ending or two
For that girl that I knew
F#
Who was reckless just enough
C#
Who gets hurt but who learns how to toughen up
D#m
When she's bruised, and gets used
B
By a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck
F#
And be scared of the life that's inside her
A#7/D
Getting stronger each day
Til it finally reminds her
D#m
To fight just a little
B
To bring back the fire in her eyes
F# A#7/D
That's been gone but used to be mine
D#m B
Oh it used to mine
F#
She is messy but she's kind
C#
She is lonely most of the time
D#m
She is all of this mixed up
C# B
And baked in a beautiful pie
F#
She is gone but she used to be mine
[Ending]
F#
