Girl I Used To Be

[Verse 1]
    G
I'm sick of counting on my ribs
 
Hollowed cheeks, I'm paper thin
    Am
Making sure I'm never full
 
So, I can stay this beautiful
   D
Traded all my happiness
                    G
For nothing but emptiness
 
[Verse 2]
     G
I'm body-checking off the days
 
Young and yet my body aches
     Am
I don't know how much I can take
                          D
I can't go on living this way
                          G
It's time for her to fly away
 
 
 
[Chorus]
                G
Sing something soft and slow
                Am
A song that she used to know
          D
Lay her down in a bed of roses
                    G
And make sure that lace dress fits
               G
Make sure her momma knows
                  Am
She's taking her pain when she goes
              D
It's only goodbye for a moment
               G
So, go on and close that lid
        G
Say "Goodnight",
                   Em
and just let her sleep
            Am                   D
No need to cry for the girl I used to be
 
[Verse 3]
   G
Make the coffin big enough
 
To fit the boy she used to love
     Am
Who never loved her half as much
 
And tell her that her work is done
 D
Put the daisies on her chest
                     G
And lay the girl to rest
 
[Chorus]
                    G
Oh, sing something soft and slow
                 Am
A song that she used to know
          D
Lay her down in a bed of roses
                    G
And make sure that lace dress fits
              G
Make sure her momma knows
                  Am
She's taking her pain when she goes
            D
It's only goodbye for a moment
               G
So, go on and close that lid
        G
Say "Goodnight",
                   Em
and just let her sleep
            Am                    D
No need to cry for the girl I used to be
