CIL - 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
