The One That Got Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Summer after high school
when we first met
We [Bm]make out [G]in your Mustang
[Em]to R[G]adio[Em]head
And on your 18th birthday we
got matching tat[C]toos
Used [G]to steal your parents' liquor
and climb to the roof
[Bm]Talk [G]about our future like we had a clue
[Em]Never plan that one day
I'd be los[D]ing [C]you

[Verse 2]
And [C]in [G]another life [C]you
would be [G]my [Bm]girl[G]
[C]We keep [G]all our promises,
[D]be us [G]aga[D]inst the[C] world
In [G]other life [C]I would m[D]ake you s[G]tay
So [C]I don't h[G]ave to s[Em]ay you
were [D]the [Em]one t[D]hat got [C]away
The one that [D]got [G]away

[Verse 3]
[G]You were dreaming I was
your Johnny Cash
Never [Bm]one [G]without the other
we made a [Bm]pact
Some[Em]times when I miss you I put
those records [C]on ohh
[G]Someone said you had
your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
[Em]It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your [C]muse

[Verse 4]
But [C]in another [G]life [C]you would be [G]my girl
[C]We keep [Bm]all our [G]prom[Em] ises,
be us against [C]the world
In [G]another life [C]I would m[G]ake you stay
So [C]I d[G]on't h[Bm]ave to s[G]ay y[Em]ou were
[D]the [Em]one that g[D]ot a[C]way
The one that got [D]away[G][D]

[Verse 5]
The [G]one[D]
[C]The one[G][Em][G][D]
[Em]The one[G][D][C][D]
[C]The one that [D]got away

[Verse 6]
All these [Em]money can't buy me
[D]a t[C]ime machine, n[D]o
[Em]I can't replace you with
[C]a million rings, [D]no
[Em]I should've told you what you mean[C]t to me,
[D]whoa
'Cause [Em]now I pay the price
[C]

[Verse 7]
[C]In another [G]life you would be my [Bm]girl[G]
We keep all our [Em]promises,
be us against [D]the [C]world
In another [G]life I would
make you [Bm]stay[G]
So I don't have to [Em]say you
[G]were the one that got [D]away[C]
The one that got [G]away

[Verse 8]
[G]The one[C]
[G]The[C] one[G][Em]
[G]The one[Em][G][C]
[D]The[C] one that got awa[G]y
[C]The one
The [G]one[Em]
The [C]one
The one that got [D]away
