[Verse]

C
Summer after high school when we first met
Em
We make out in your mustang to Radiohead
Am                                      F
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
        C
Used to steal your parent's liquor and climb to the roof
Em
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Am                                       F
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

C
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
      Em
Never one without the other we made a pact
Am                          F
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on... woe
C
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Em
Saw you downtown singing the blues
Am                                             F
It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse


[Chorus]

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

The one the one the one

The one that got away.


[Bridge]

G                            Am            F
All his money can't buy me a time machine. No.
G                        Am             F
Can't replace you with a million rings. No.
Em                          Am           F
I shoulda told you what you meant to me. Woe.
G
Cause now I pay the price.


[Chorus]

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

The one the one the one

The one that got away.


[Outro]

            C                    Em
In another life I would make you stay
                   Am                            F
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
F N.C.
The one that got away.

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. Read more on Last.fm.
