Verse 1:
A5
You left a guy who told you
D5 E5
where to be and when
A5
I was with a girl who tried
D5 E5
to sleep with my best friend
F#5
We both took comfort in
D5
each other's messy lives
A5
Finding warmth on that
E5
cold November night
A5
We swore it'd be years
D5
before we brought that on
E5 A5
again Days later you said
D5
that we should be more
E5
than just friends
F#5
I let my guard down cause
D5
the feelings were so strong
A5
But acted stupid and
E5
that's when he came along
Chorus 1:
D5
It's been so long
E5
I should just move on
A5
There's other
E5 F#5
fish in the sea
D5
But I keep hoping that
E5 A- - C#m- - D- - E5 - D5 - C#m- x2
you'll swim back home to me
Verse 2:
A5
We'd sneak out and go
D5 E5
swimming late at night
A5
You're one of few who
D5 E5
can say they've seen me cry
F#5
You got my quirkiness and
D5
awkward sense of humor
A5
We shared Simpson quote and
E5
started made up rumors
A5
If night turned into day
D5 E5
you'd hide me from your mom
A5
I could never fight with you
D5 E5
cause you were never wrong
F#5
This time especially
D5
the blame is all on me
A5
If I'd not screwed things
E5
up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
F#5 A5 D5
One day for no reason
B5 F#5
I broke our date
A5
So you made other
D5 B5
plans that day
F#5
And that's when
A5 D5
you met him
B5 D5
And why you're still
E5
with him today
Chorus 2:
D5
It's been so long
E5
I should just move on
A5
There's other
E5 F#5
fish in the sea
D5
But I keep hoping that
E5
you'll swim back home to
D5
I'm just glad I got
E5
a chance to know you
D5
You'll forever be
E5 A- - C#m- - D- - E5 - D5 - C#m- x2 A(hold)
the one that got away
