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
