She Used To Be Mine Uke tab by Sara Bareilles

G
It's not simple to say
D
Most days I don't recognize me
      Em
These shoes and this apron

This place and its patrons
     C
Have taken more than I gave them


G
It's not easy to know
     D
I'm not anything that I used to be oh
          Em
It's true I was never attention's sweet center
  C
I still remember that girl


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


G
It's not what I asked for
         D
Sometimes life slips in through a backdoor
    Em                                                 C
and carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true

Now I've got you
G
You're not what I asked for
       B7
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
      Em
for a chance to start over
                    
 C
Rewrite an ending or two

for the girl that I knew


         G
Who'd be reckless just enough
          D 
Who'd get hurt but who learns how to tough it up
           Em
When she's bruised and gets used
                   C
By a man who can't love

Then she'll get stuck
       G
And be scared of the life that's inside her
          B7
Growing stronger each day

Til it finally reminds her
     Em
That fight just a little
                              C
To bring back the fire in her eyes
                                   G        B7
That's been gone but it used to be mine
       Em          C   D
Used to mine


G
She is messy but she's kind
       D
She is lonely most of the time
       Em
She is all of this mixed up
               D          C
and baked in a beautiful pie
                               G
She is gone but she used to be mine
