That one that got away chords

Intro

Verse 1

A You left a guy who told you

D where to be and E when

A I was with a girl who tried

to s D leep with my best E friend

F♯m We both took comfort in

each D other’s messy lives

A Finding warmth on that

E cold November night

A We swore it’d be years

before we D brought that on

a E gain A Days later you said

that we should D be more

than just E friends

F♯m I let my guard down cause

the D feelings were so strong

A But acted stupid and

that’s E when he came along

Chorus 1

D It’s been so long

I E should just move on

E/G♯ fish in the F♯m sea

D But I keep hoping that

you’ll swim back home to me

Verse 2

A We’d sneak out and go

D swimming late at E night

A You’re one of few who

can D say they’ve seen me E cry

F♯m You got my quirkiness and

D awkward sense of humor

A We shared Simpson quote and

s E tarted made up rumors

A If night turned into day

you’d D hide me from your E mom

A I could never fight with you

cause D you were never E wrong

F♯m This time especially

the D blame is all on me

A If I’d not screwed things

up I E wonder where we’d be

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

F♯m One day for A no rea D son

I Bm broke our F♯m date

So you made A other

D plans that Bm day

F♯m And that’s when

A you met D him

And Bm why you’re s D till

with him to E day

Chorus 2

D It’s been so long

I E should just move on

E/G♯ fish in the F♯m sea

D But I keep hoping that

you’ll E swim back home to

D I’m just glad I got

a E chance to know you

D You’ll forever be

A Summer after high school when we first met

E We made out in your Mustang to Radio head

And F♯m on my 18th birthday we got matching t D attoos

Used to s A teal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roof

E Talk about our future like we had a clue

F♯m Never planned that one day I’d be losing D you

And in another A life you would be my E girl

We’d keep all our F♯m promises, be us against the D world

And in another A life I would make you E stay

So I don’t have to F♯m say you were the one that got D away

The one that got aw A ay

(Play chords muted along to beat)

A You were June and I was Johnny Cash

E Never one, without the other, we made a pact

F♯m Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records D on, whoa

A Someone said that you had your tattoo removed

E They said they saw you downtown just singing the blues

F♯m It’s time to face the music, I’m longer your D muse

(Chorus) (unmuted normal strum)

And in another A life you would be my E girl

We’d keep all our F♯m promises, be us against the D world

And in other A life I would make you E stay

So I don’t have to F♯m say you were the one that got D away

The one that got A away

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa whoa F♯m

Whoa whoa whoa whoa D

The one that got away F♯m

(continue F♯m ) A D F♯m

And all this money cant buy me a time machine, No

Cant replace you with a A million D rings, F♯m no

I should have told you what you A meant to D me, F♯m whoa
