[Verse 1]
C                                         
Summer after high school when we first met
Em                                        
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    Am                                      F   
And on my 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos
        C                                               
Used to steal your parents' 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                   G   
In another life I would be your girl
                Am                          F   
We keep all our promises be us against the world
           C                     G    
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 2]
C                                 
I was June 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
C                                       
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Em                               
Saw you downtown singin the blues
Am                                                  F
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

[Chorus]
            C                   G   
In another life I would be your girl
                Am                          F   
We keep all our promises be us against the world
           C                     G   
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       G       Am     
The one the one the one
F                     
The one that got away.

[Bridge]
G                                             Am
All this money can't buy me a time machine. no
G                                         Am
Can't replace you with a million rings. no
G                                              Am F
I should've told you what you meant to me. whoa
G(hold)
'Cause now I pay the price.

[Chorus]
           C                   G    
In another life I would be your girl
                Am                          F   
We keep all our promises be us against the world
           C                     G   
In another life I would make you stay
                   Am                             F  
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

[Outro]
F                    
The one that got away
C      G       Am F
The one, the one
           C                      G   
In another life, I would make you stay
                   Am                             F  
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
C -once
The one that got away
