The One That Got Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][G]
[D]Oh,[C] oh[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I stood by the exit door
of the [C]hotel cafe
He [G]was playing with his band
I've [D]always been a sucker
Had a weak[C]ness for a boy
with a [G]guitar and a drink in his hand
His [D]words were like heaven
in my [C]hurricane
My [G]knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
[D]Watching you save my [C]life with the [G]song

[Pre-chorus 1]
You were [Em]mine
In the back of my [A]mind
Oh, just for one [Em]night
Just for a [A]while

[Chorus 1]
[D]There's always the [C]one that gets a[G]way
The [D]one that sneaks up [C]on you
then slips a[G]way

[Verse 2]
[D]Two weeks later
I was sitting in his [C]apartment
He was making cappucci[G]no
I said, 'what kind of man makes cappuccino?'
We [D]laughed
We laughed
We laughed
[C]We laughed till tears ran down [G]my face
[D]Oh, but, my man,
you're someone [C]else's man
And that ain't the [G]man that I want
But you [D]keep drawing me in
with those [C]big, brown, lying [G]eyes

[Pre-chorus 2]
You'll always be [Em]mine
In the back of my [A]mind
Oh, we had a [Em]night
Just a little [A]while

[Chorus 2]
[D]There's always the [C]one that gets a[G]way
The [D]one that sneaks up [C]on you
then slips a[G]way
[D]In a closed off [C]corner of my [G]heart, yes
[D]I'll always see your [C]face
[G]The one that got away
[D]One that got away
[C]The one that got away
[G]The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
[D]The one that got away
[C]Oh, the one that got away
[G]The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
[Em]Yeah, yeah[A]
Oh, oh, oh, [Em]oh
Yeah, [A]yeah

[Verse 3]
Oh
[D]I'm not a victim of cliches
[C]I don't believe in soul mat[G]es
Happy endings, only one
[D]Oh, and I met you,
and all that [C]changed
I had a taste,
and you're still [G]sitting on the tip of my tongue

[Pre-chorus 3]
You were [Em]mine
Somewhere [A]in time
I'll look for you [Em]first
In my [A]next life

[Outro 1]
[D]There's always the [C]one that gets a[G]way
The [D]one that sneaks up [C]on you
then slips a[G]way
[D]In a closed off [C]corner of my [G]heart, yes
[D]I, I'll [C]al ways see [G]your face
The one that got away
[D]One that got away
[C]The one that got away
[G]The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
[D]The one that got away
[C]Oh, the one that got away
[G]The one that got away
Oh, the one that got away
[D]Yea[C]h, yeah
[G]Oh, oh, yeah
The one that got away
