The Civil Wars
Standard Tuning or Drop D Tuning if you're feeling funky.

[Verse 1:]
Dm
I never meant to get us in this deep
Bb
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Gm
Oh, I wish you were the one
F                       Dm
Wish you were the one that got away
Dm
I got caught up by the chase
Bb
And you got high on every little bit
Gm
I wish you were the one
F                          Dm
Wish you were the one that got away

[Chorus:]
Gm          F       Dm               
Oh, if I could go back in time
                         Gm
When you only held me in my mind
            Dm               Gm
Just a longing gone without a trace
              F   Dm          Bb
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
  G
I wish you were the one
 Bb            Dm
Wish you were the one that got away

[Verse 2:]
Dm
I miss the way you wanted me
Dm
When I was staying just out of your reach
Gm
Begging for the slightest touch
F                                Dm
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm

[Bridge:]
Dm
Got away from me (x2)
For anybody has to breathe
