Summer after high school when we first met

We make out in you mustang to radio head
Am                                      F
And on my 18th birthday we bought matching tattoos
        C
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
G
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Am                                       F
Never planned that one day i'd be losing you

            C                   G
In another life I would be your girl
                Am                          F
We keep all our promises be us against the world
           C                     G
In another life I would make you stay
                   Am                             F
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

I was June you were my johnny cash
      G
Never one without the other we made a pact
Am                           F
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
G
Saw you down town singin the blues
Am                                              F
It's time to face the music i'm no longer your muse

               C                    G
But in another life I would be your girl

If it sounds a little vanilla, try replacing the g's with E majors (Em's).

About this song: The One That Got Away

The The One That Go Away Songfacts says: The song was chosen to be the sixth single from Teenage Dream. "I'm so pleased to select 'The One That Got Away' as my sixth single because this song shows a very different side of me that I haven't shown with my past singles on this record," said Perry. "I think that everyone can relate to this song. I wrote (it) about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through. It's a bittersweet story. Hopefully, the listener learns from hearing it and never has to say they had 'The One' get away.
