Intro

C G Am F G x2

Verse

Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again

Chorus

Dreams I kept as a child
Kept me quiet and hypnotised
Cooked away my valentines
Served myself up every night
Couldn't see me for the trees
And all that hallmark poetry 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be  

Verse

Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again

Chorus

Trying to break the family ties
Chocolate hearts and tacky lies
Heard a thousand crappy lines
And I believed them every time
So I beg to disagree
Love's not taking all of me 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be
(C) G Am F G

Verse

Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from the ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again

Chorus

Dreams I kept as a child
Kept me quiet and hypnotised
Cooked away my valentines
Served myself up every night
Couldn't see me for the trees
And all that hallmark poetry 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 

Outro

I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be 
I'm not the girl I used to be
