Capo 4

Verse 1:
C majorC
Summer after high school when we first met
E minorEm
We make out in your mustang to Radiohead
A minorAm                   FF
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
    C majorC
Used to steal your parent’s liquor and climb to the roof
E minorEm
Talk about our future like we had a clue
A minorAm                    FF
Never planned that one day I’d be losing you

Chorus:
      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would be your girl
        A minorAm             FF
We keep all our promises be us against the world
      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would make you stay
          A minorAm              FF
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
FF
The one that got away.


Verse 2:
C majorC
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
   E minorEm
Never one without the other we made a pact
A minorAm             FF
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on... woe
C majorC
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
E minorEm
Saw you downtown singing the blues
A minorAm                       FF
It’s time to face the music I’m no longer your muse

Chorus:
        C majorC          E minorEm
But in another life I would be your girl
        A minorAm             FF
We keep all our promises be us against the world
      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would make you stay
          A minorAm              FF
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
FF
The one that got away.

The one the one the one

The one that got away.


Bridge:
G+G              A minorAm      FF
All his money can’t buy me a time machine. No.
G+G            A minorAm       FF
Can’t replace you with a million rings. No.
E minorEm             A minorAm      FF
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. Woe.
G+G
Cause now I pay the price.


Chorus:
      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would be your girl
        A minorAm             FF
We keep all our promises be us against the world
      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would make you stay
          A minorAm              FF
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
FF
The one that got away.

The one the one the one

The one that got away.

      C majorC          E minorEm
In another life I would make you stay
          A minorAm              FF
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
FF (One Strum)
