[Intro]
D F#m/C# Bm G
[Verse 1]
D
Summer after high school when we first met
F#m/C#
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
Bm G
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
D
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
F#m/C#
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Bm G
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
[Chorus]
D F#m
In another life I would be your girl
Bm G
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
D F#m
In another life I would make you stay
Bm G
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
D
The one that got away
[Verse 2]
D
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
F#m/C#
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Bm G
And sometimes when I miss you I put those records on
D
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
F#m/C#
I saw you down town singing the blues
Bm G
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
[Chorus]
D F#m
In another life I would be your girl
Bm G
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
D F#m
In another life I would make you stay
Bm G
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
D
The one that got away
F#m/C# Bm G
The one, the one, the one
N.C.
The one that got away
[Verse 1]
Summer after high school, when we first met
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talked about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
[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
The one that got away
[Verse 2]
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
The one that got away
[Post-Chorus]
The one
The one
The one
The one that got away
