[Verse 1]

E
Summer after high school when we first met
     G#m
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    C#m                                     A
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
        E
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
G#m
Talk about our future like we had a clue
      C#m                                A
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you


[Chorus]

            E                   G#m
In another life I would be your girl
                  C#m                         A
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
            E                    G#m
In another life I would make you stay
                   C#m                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away


[Verse 2]

E
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
      G#m
Never one without the other, we made a pact
C#m                                           A
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on, whoa
E
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
G#m
Saw you downtown singin' the blues
     C#m                                        A
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse


[Chorus]

                E                   G#m
But in another life I would be your girl
                  C#m                         A
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
            E                    G#m
In another life I would make you stay
                   C#m                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away


[Post-Chorus]

E
  The one
G#m
    The one
C#m
    The one
A
  The one that got away


[Bridge]

B                               C#m        A
  All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
B                          C#m         A
  Can't replace you with a million rings, no
B                               C#m       A
  I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa
B
  'Cause now I pay the price


[Chorus]

            E                   G#m
In another life I would be your girl
                  C#m                         A
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
            E                    G#m
In another life I would make you stay
                   C#m                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
                                         E
The one that got away (The one that got away)


[Post-Chorus]

             G#m
The one (The one)
             C#m
The one (The one)
             A
The one (The one)


[Chorus]

            E                    G#m
In another life I would make you stay
                   C#m                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
                  E
The one that got away
