capo on 2 fret

Verse 1:
D
Summer after high school, when we first met
A
We made 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
A
Talk about a future, like we had a clue
Bm                                        G
Never planned that one day, I'd be losing you

Chorus:
           D                     A
In another life, I would be your girl
                  Bm
We'd keep all our promises
                  G
Be us against the world
           D                      A
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 Johnny Cash
      A
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Bm                                             G
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on
D
Someone said you had your, tattoo removed
A
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
Bm
It's time to face the music,
                   G
I'm no longer your muse

Chorus:
           D                     A
In another life, I would be your girl
                  Bm
We'd keep all our promises
                  G
Be us against the world
           D                      A
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
D
The o–o–o–one,
A
The o–o–o–one,
Bm
The o–o–oone,
G
The one that got away

Bridge:
A                             Bm           G
All this money can't buy me a time machine,  no–o–o
A                        Bm           G
Can't replace you with a million rings,  no–o–o–o
A                             Bm          G
I should've told you what you meant to me,   Wo–o–o–oah 
A                            
'Cause now I pay the price...

Chorus:
           D                     A
In another life, I would be your girl
                  Bm
We'd keep all our promises
                  G
Be us against the world
           D                      A
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!
D
The o–o–o–one,
A
The o–o–o–one,
Bm
The o–o–one,
           D                      A
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.
