Intro: 1-2-3-4-
Verse 1:
C#
You left a guy who told you
F# G#
where to be and when
C#
I was with a girl who tried
F# G#
to sleep with my best friend
A#m
We both took comfort in
F#
each other's messy lives
C#
Finding warmth on that
G#
cold November night
C#
We swore it'd be years
F#
before we brought that on
G# C#
again Days later you said
F#
that we should be more
G#
than just friends
A#m
I let my guard down cause
F#
the feelings were so strong
C#
But acted stupid and
G#
that's when he came along
Chorus 1:
F#
It's been so long
G#
I should just move on
C#
There's other
G#/C A#m
fish in the sea
F#
But I keep hoping that
G# A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2
you'll swim back home to me
Verse 2:
C#
We'd sneak out and go
F# G#
swimming late at night
C#
You're one of few who
F# G#
can say they've seen me cry
A#m
You got my quirkiness and
F#
awkward sense of humor
C#
We shared Simpson quote and
G#
started made up rumors
C#
If night turned into day
F# G#
you'd hide me from your mom
C#
I could never fight with you
F# G#
cause you were never wrong
A#m
This time especially
F#
the blame is all on me
C#
If I'd not screwed things
G#
up I wonder where we'd be
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
A#m C# F#
One day for no reason
D#m A#m
I broke our date
C#
So you made other
F# D#m
plans that day
A#m
And that's when
C# F#
you met him
D#m F#
And why you're still
G#
with him today
Chorus 2:
F#
It's been so long
G#
I should just move on
C#
There's other
G#/C A#m
fish in the sea
F#
But I keep hoping that
G#
you'll swim back home to
F#
I'm just glad I got
G#
a chance to know you
F#
You'll forever be
G# A--C#m--D--E-D-C#m- x2 A(hold)
the one that got away
