The Civil Wars
Standard Tuning or Drop D MajorD Tuning if you're feeling funky.

[Verse 1:]
DmDm
I never meant to get us in this deep
Bb majorBb
I never meant for this to mean a thing
G minorGm
Oh, I wish you were the one
FF            DmDm
Wish you were the one that got away
DmDm
I got caught up by the chase
Bb majorBb
And you got high on every little bit
G minorGm
I wish you were the one
FF             DmDm
Wish you were the one that got away

[Chorus:]
G minorGm     FF    DmDm
Oh, if I could go back in time
             G minorGm
When you only held me in my mind
      DmDm        G minorGm
Just a longing gone without a trace
       FF  DmDm     Bb majorBb
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
 G+G
I wish you were the one
 Bb majorBb      DmDm
Wish you were the one that got away

[Verse 2:]
DmDm
I miss the way you wanted me
DmDm
When I was staying just out of your reach
G minorGm
Begging for the slightest touch
FF                DmDm
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm

[Bridge:]
DmDm
Got away from me (x2)
For anybody has to breathe
