She Used To Be Mine

Waitress (Musical)


Tom: F#

[Intro] F#


It's not simple to say
      C#
Most days I don't recognize me
           D#m
That these shoes and this apron

That place and its patrons
       B                        F#
Have taken more than I gave them

It's not easy to know
         C#
I'm not anything like I used to be
             D#m
Although 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 and 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
                         B
And baked in a beautiful pie
                               F#
She is gone but she used to be mine

It's not what I asked for
          C#
Sometimes life just slips 

In through a back door
    D#m
And carves out a person
                              B
And makes you believe it's all true
                    F#
And now I've got you

You're not what I asked for
       A#7
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
                                 B
And gets used 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#m
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
That's been gone but used to be mine
            D#m  B
Used to be 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
                         B
And baked in a beautiful pie
                               F#
She is gone but she used to be mine
