A You left a guy who told you D E where to be and when A I was with a girl who tried D E to sleep with my best friend F#m We both took comfort in D each other's messy lives A Finding warmth on that E cold November night A We swore it'd be years D before we brought that on E A again Days later you said D that we should be more E than just friends F#m I let my guard down cause D the feelings were so strong A But acted stupid and E that's when he came along Chorus: D It's been so long E I should just move on A There's other E/G# F#m fish in the sea D But I keep hoping that E A C#m D E D C#m you'll swim back home to me We'd sneak out and go swimming late at night You're one of few who can say they've seen me cry You've got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor We shared simpson quotes and started made up rumors If night turned into day you'd hide me from your mom I could never fight with you cuz you were never wrong This time especially the blame is all on me If i'd not screwed things up i wonder where we'd be Chorus F#m A D One day for no reason Bm F#m I broke our date A So you made other D Bm plans that day F#m And that's when A D you met him Bm D And why you're still E with him today Chorus: D It's been so long E I should just move on A There's other E/G# F#m fish in the sea D But I keep hoping that E you'll swim back home to D I'm just glad I got E a chance to know you D You'll forever be E A C#m D E D C#m the one that got away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  C#m  D  E  F#m  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
