Intro: 1-2-3-4-


Verse 1:
A
  You left a guy who told you
D               E
where to be and when
A
I was with a girl who tried 
    D                 E
to sleep with my best friend
F#m
   We both took comfort in
     D
each other's messy lives
A
  Finding warmth on that
E
cold November night
A
  We swore it'd be years 
          D
before we brought that on
 E   A
again Days later you said
               D
that we should be more
          E
than just friends
F#m
   I let my guard down cause
    D
the feelings were so strong
A
  But acted stupid and
       E
that's when he came along


Chorus 1:
D
  It's been so long
  E
I should just move on
A
There's other
E/G#        F#m
fish in the sea
D
  But I keep hoping that
       E                 A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2
you'll swim back home to me


Verse 2:
A
  We'd sneak out and go
D                E
swimming late at night
A
  You're one of few who
    D                   E
can say they've seen me cry
F#m
   You got my quirkiness and
D
awkward sense of humor
A
  We shared Simpson quote and
 E
started made up rumors
A
  If night turned into day 
      D                 E
you'd hide me from your mom
A
I could never fight with you
      D              E
cause you were never wrong
F#m
   This time especially
    D
the blame is all on me
A
  If I'd not screwed things 
     E
up I wonder where we'd be


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
F#m            A     D
   One day for no reason
  Bm        F#m
I broke our date
            A
So you made other
D          Bm
plans that day
F#m
   And that's when
A       D
you met him
    Bm          D
And why you're still
           E
with him today


Chorus 2:
D
  It's been so long
  E
I should just move on
A
There's other
E/G#        F#m
fish in the sea
D
  But I keep hoping that
       E
you'll swim back home to
D
  I'm just glad I got 
  E
a chance to know you
D
  You'll forever be 
    E             A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2 A(hold)
the one that got away
