(Verse 1)
A
Summer after high school when we first met
E
We made out in your Mustang to Radio head
F#m D
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
A
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
E
Talk about our future like we had a clue
F#m D
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
A E
And in another life you would be my girl
F#m D
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
A E
And in another life I would make you stay
F#m D
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
A
The one that got away
(Verse 2)
A
You were June and I was Johnny Cash
E
Never one, without the other, we made a pact
F#m D
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
A
Someone said that you had your tattoo removed
E
They said they saw you downtown just singing the blues
F#m D
It's time to face the music, I'm longer your muse
A E
And in another life you would be my girl
F#m D
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
A E
And in other life I would make you stay
F#m D
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
A
The one that got away
A E
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
F#m
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
D
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
F#m
The one that got away
(continue F#m) A D F#m
And all this money cant buy me a time machine, No
A D F#m
Cant replace you with a million rings, no
A D F#m
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
E
Cause now I pay the price
Chorus
