Chords

Title: She Used to be Mine Artist: Jessie Mueller Album: Waitress (Original Broadway Cast Recording) Year: 2016 Perfect song btw. 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#
