The One That Got Away

INTRO: G  D  Em  D

  G
I grew up beneath the trees
    D
Not far from the refineries
Em
Aimed at the sky, like smoking guns
  Am                 C          D    G     D
I learned to walk, I learned to run away


G
Tracing back our history
       D
It's a wonder how we came to be
  Em
A love driven through a dozen States
     Am                 C       D   G       D
With your technique for keeping me awake


    G
The day we met is still a blur
           D
Though I remember just how nice you were
    Em
And what you wore in Central Park
    Am             C        D        G
And how you left before the darkness fell


CHORUS:
      C D        G
Now I cry over these strings
D                         Em
This sentimental case of things
           Am      G6       C
Though I'm better with each passing day
  Am           G6     C   D/F#     G     D Dsus4 D
I guess you'll be the one who got away


       G
'Cause everyone has one of those
    D
You wear them like you wear your clothes
  Em
Except they don't come off at night
     Am                C       D      G
They are the space you hold up to the light


INTERLUDE:  D Dsus4 D  Em  Em7  C  D


G
And somewhere along the line
       D
You'll turn into a friend of mine
    Em
Who knows of my unspoken cares
 Am           C       D      G
Amid the aftermath of love affairs


CHORUS:
        C D        G
Still I cry over these strings
D                         Em
This sentimental case of things
           Am      G6       C
Though I'm better with each passing day
  Am           G6     C   D/F#     G     D Dsus4 D
I guess you'll be the one who got away


G
Now I stand beneath these trees
    D
Not far from the refineries
Em
Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun
     Am                  C        D    G
I'll learn to walk, I'll learn to run again
