Verse 1:
G#
You left a guy who told you
C# D#
where to be and when
G#
I was with a girl who tried
C# D#
to sleep with my best friend
Fm
We both took comfort in
C#
each other's messy lives
G#
Finding warmth on that
D#
cold November night
G#
We swore it'd be years
C#
before we brought that on
D# G#
again Days later you said
C#
that we should be more
D#
than just friends
Fm
I let my guard down cause
C#
the feelings were so strong
G#
But acted stupid and
D#
that's when he came along
Chorus 1:
C#
It's been so long
D#
I should just move on
G#
There's other
D#/G Fm
fish in the sea
C#
But I keep hoping that
D# A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2
you'll swim back home to me
Verse 2:
G#
We'd sneak out and go
C# D#
swimming late at night
G#
You're one of few who
C# D#
can say they've seen me cry
Fm
You got my quirkiness and
C#
awkward sense of humor
G#
We shared Simpson quote and
D#
started made up rumors
G#
If night turned into day
C# D#
you'd hide me from your mom
G#
I could never fight with you
C# D#
cause you were never wrong
Fm
This time especially
C#
the blame is all on me
G#
If I'd not screwed things
D#
up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Fm G# C#
One day for no reason
A#m Fm
I broke our date

G# C#
you met him

And why you're still
D#
with him today

It's been so long
D#
I should just move on
G#
There's other

fish in the sea

you'll swim back home to

I'm just glad I got
D#
a chance to know you
C#
You'll forever be

the one that got away
