E Summer after high school when we first met G#m We make out in you mustang to Radiohead C#m A And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos E Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof G#m Talk about our future like we had a clue C#m A Never planned that one day I'd be losing you Chorus: E G#m In another life I would be your girl C#m A We keep all our promises be us against the world E G#m In another life I would make you stay C#m A So I don't have to say you were the one that got away The one that got away I was June, and you were my Johnny Cash Never one without the other, we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown, singing the blues It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse Chorus E The one G#m the one C#m the one A the one that got away B C#m F#m All his money can't buy me a time machine no B C#m F#m Can't replace you with a million rings no B C#m F#m I shoulda told you what you meant to me woah B Cause now I pay the price Chorus The one (The one) The one (The one) The one (The one) E G#m In another life I would make you stay C#m A So I don't have to say you were the one that got away E The one that got away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  E  F#m  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
