Summer after high school, when we first met,
G#m
We’d make out in your Mustang to Radiohead.
C#m
And on my eighteenth birthday
A
We got matching tattoos.
Used to steal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roof,
Talk about our future like we had a clue.
Never planned that one day
I’d be losing you.
Chorus:
E
In another life
G#m
I would be your girl.
C#m
We’d keep all our promises,
A
Be us against the world.
E
In another life
G#m
I would make you stay,
C#m
So I don’t have to say
A
You were the one that got away,
The one that got away.
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash.
Never one without the other, we made a pact.
Sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on, whoa.
Someone said you had your tattoo removed.
Saw you downtown singing the Blues.
It’s time to face the music,
I’m no longer your muse.
Chorus:
But in another life
I would be your girl.
We’d keep all our promises,
Be us against the world.
In another life
I would make you stay,
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away,
E
The one that got away.
E G#m C#m A
The one, the one, the one,
H
The one that got away.
Bridge:
H C#m F#m H
All this money can’t buy me a time machine, no.
C#m F#m H
Can’t replace you with a million rings, no.
C#m F#m H
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa,
’Cause now I pay the price.
Chorus:
In another life
I would be your girl.
We’d keep all our promises,
Be us against the world.
In another life
I would make you stay,
So I don’t have to say
You were the one that got away,
E
The one that got away.
E G#m C#m A
The one, the one, the one.
E
In another life
G#m
I would make you stay,
C#m
So I don’t have to say
A
You were the one that got away,
E
The one that got away.
