She Used to Be Mine piano leadsheet with chords

I understand there's nothing I can do.

I can't be what she needs as long as she needs you.

If you're the one she'll turn to from now on,

there are things that you should know about her when I'm gone.

She's not as brave as she might seem.

And when she's had a scary dream,

if you don't hold her, she won't sleep all night.

She's not as strong as she should be.

She cries at movies on TV and counts on you to see that things go right.

But she's a chance to make your dreams come true,

to have someone who thinks there's nothing you can't do.

A chance to live each day and care the way you always knew you could.

Take care of her for me.

She used to be mine.

She's not her best on rainy days,

she'll test your love a hundred ways.

She plays with your emotions like a song.

She chases dreams that can't come true and always tries too hard for you and never knows just how to say she's wrong.

But she's a chance to make your life complete.

A chance to take these lonely days and make them sweet.

A chance to feel so good that ev'ryone will wish they could be you.

Take care of her for me.

She used to be mine.

She'll never leave you any time alone.

She needs more time and tenderness than anyone you've known.

But she's a chance you'll never have again.

A chance to laugh a lot and pity other men.

A chance I can't forget.

A chance that I somehow let slip away.

Take care of her for me.

She used to be mine.
