Intro: E Abm Dbm A

Verse 1:
E
Summer after high school when we first met
Abm
We make out in you mustang to Radiohead
    Dbm                                     A
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos


        E
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
Abm
Talk about our future like we had a clue
      Dbm                                A
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

Chorus:
            E                   Abm
In another life I would be your girl
                Dbm                        A
We keep all our promises be us against the world
            E                    Abm
In another life I would make you stay
                   Dbm                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

The one that got away

Instrumental: E

Verse 2:
E
I was June you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other we made a pact
Dbm                                           A
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on woah
E
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Abm
Saw you down town singin’ the blues
      Dbm                                A
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

We keep all our promises be us against the world
            E                    Abm
In another life I would make you stay
                   Dbm                            A
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

  Can't replace you with a million rings no
B                             Dbm       A
  I shoulda told you what you meant to me woah
B
  Cause now I pay the price
