This tab is an 'acoustic arrangement', the chords don't fit for Katy Perry's official acoustic version
of the song, but the strumming pattern does!
Strumming Pattern: D DU UDU
Capo 4
Verse
[C]
Summer after high school when we first met
[Em]
We make out in your mustang to Radiohead
[Am] [F]
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
[C]
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
[Em]
Talk about our future like we had a clue
[Am] [F]
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
Chorus
[C] [Em]
In another life I would be your girl
[Am] [F]
We keep all our promises be us against the world
[C] [Em]
In another life I would make you stay
[Am] [F]
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
[F]
The one that got away.
Verse
[C]
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
[Em]
Never one without the other we made a pact
[Am] [F]
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on... woe
[C]
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
[Em]
Saw you downtown singing the blues
[Am] [F]
It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse
Chorus
[C] [Em]
But in another life I would be your girl
[Am] [F]
We keep all our promises be us against the world
[C] [Em]
In another life I would make you stay
[Am] [F]
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
[F]
The one that got away.
[C] [Em] [Am]
The one the one the one
[F]
The one that got away.
Bridge
[G] [Am] [Dm] [G]
All this money can't buy me a time machine. No.
[Am] [Dm] [G]
Can't replace you with a million rings. No.
[Am] [Dm]
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. Woe.
[G] [G7]
Cause now I pay the price.
Chorus
[C] [Em]
In another life I would be your girl
[Am] [F]
We keep all our promises be us against the world
[C] [Em]
In another life I would make you stay
[Am] [F]
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
[F]
The one that got away.
[C] [Em] [Am]
The one the one the one
[F]
The one that got away.
Outro
[C] [Em]
In another life I would make you stay
[Am] [F]
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
[F] N.C.
The one that got away.
