The One That Got Away piano leadsheet with chords

I stood by the exit door in the hotel café.

He was playing with his band.

I've always been a sucker, had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand.

His words were like heaven in my hurricane;

my knees buckled under;

I thought ev'ryone was watching me.

Watching you save my life

with a song.

You were mine

in the back of my mind.

Oh just for one night,

just for a while.

There's always one

that gets away,

the one that sneaks up on you then slips away.

Two weeks later I was sittin' in his apartment.

He was making cappuccino.

I said, "What kind of man makes cappuccino?"

We laughed, we laughed, we laughed,

we laughed 'til tears ran down my face.

But my man you're someone else's man,

and that ain't the man that I wanna want,

but you keep drawing me in with those big,

brown, lying eyes.

But you'll always be mine in the back of my mind.

Oh, we had a night,

just a little while.

life.

There's always one

that gets away,

the one who sneaks up on you then slips away.

In a closed off corner of my heart

I'll always see your face,

the one that got away.

The one that got away.

Oh, the one that got away.

Oh, the one that got away.

Oh, the one that got away.

I'm not a victim of clichés;

I don't believe in soul mates,

happy endings or "the one."

Oh, but then I met you and all that changed.

I had a taste and you're still sittin' on the tip of my tongue.

But you were

The one that got away.

The one that got away.
