It’s not sim ple to say;
most (C)days
I don’t rec og nize me with these (Dm)shoes and this a pron.
That place and its pa trons have (Bb)ta ken more

It’s not eas y to know;
I’m not (C)an y thing
like I used to be, al though it’s true,
I was nev er at ten tion’s sweet cen ter.
(Bb)I still re mem ber that girl:
She’s im (F)per fect,

She is (C)good,
but she lies.
She is (Dm)hard
on her self.
She is (Bb)bro ken and won’t ask for help.
She is (F)mess y,
but she’s kind.
She is (C)lone ly
most of the time.
She is (Dm)all of this, mixed up and baked in a beau ti ful (Bb)pie.
She is gone, but she used to be (F)mine.
It’s not what I asked for.
Some times (C)life
