[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 
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.
