Intro
[D] [C] [G] x2
Verse 1
[D] [C]
I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe
[G]
He was playing with his band
[D] [C] [G]
I've always been a sucker, had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
[D] [C]
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
[G]
My knees buckled under, I thought everyone was watching me
[D] [C] [G]
Watching you save my life with a song
Pre-chorus 1
[Em]
You were mine
[A]
In the back of my mind
[Em]
Oh, just for one night
[A]
Just for a while
Chorus
[D] [C] [G]
There's always one that gets away
[D] [C] [G]
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
Verse 2
[D] [C]
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
[G]
He was making cappuccino
I said what kind of man makes cappuccino
[D]
We laughed, we laughed, we laughed
[C] [G]
We laughed 'til tears ran down my face
[D] [C]
Oh, but my man you're someone else's man
[G]
And that ain't the man that I wanna want
[D] [C] [G]
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lyin' eyes
Pre-chorus 2
[Em]
You'll always be mine
[A]
In the back of my mind
[Em]
Oh, we had a night
[A]
Just a little while
Chorus
[D] [C] [G]
There's always one that gets away
[D] [C] [G]
The one that sneaks up on you, that slips away
[D] [C] [G]
In a closed off corner of my heart, yes
[D] [C] [G]
I'll always see your face
Bridge
The one that got away
[D]
One that got away
[C]
The one that got away

The one that got away

Oh, the one that got away

The one that got away

Oh, the one that got away

Oh
Verse 3
[D] [C]
I'm not a victim of cliches
I don't believe in soulmates
[G]
Happy endings or the one
[D] [C]
Oh, and I met you and all that changed
[G]
I had a taste and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue
Pre-chorus 3
[Em]
You were mine
[A]
Somewhere in time
[Em]
I'll look for you first
[A]
In my next life
REPEAT CHORUS!
