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
