The One That Got Away

I stood by the exit door in the (C)hotel café.

He was (Gmaj7)playing with his (G5)band.

I've (D)always been a sucker, had a (C)weakness for a boy with a (Gmaj7)guitar and a drink in his (G5)hand.

His (D)words were like heaven in my (C)hurricane;

my (Gmaj7)knees buckled under;

I thought (G5)ev'ryone was watching me.

(D)Watching you save my life

(C)with a song.

(Gmaj7)You were mine

(Em7)in the back of my mind.

(A7sus)Oh (A7)just for one (Em7)night,

just for a while.

(D)There's always one

(C)that gets (Gmaj7)away,

the (D)one that sneaks up on (C)you then slips (Gmaj7)away.

(D)Two weeks later I was sittin' in his (C)apartment.

He was making (Gmaj7)cappuccino.

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

We (D)laughed, we laughed, we laughed,

(C)we laughed 'til tears ran down my (Gmaj7)face.

(D)But my man you're someone (C)else's man,

and that ain't the (Gmaj7)man that I wanna want,

(G5)but you keep (D)drawing me in with those (C)big,

brown, lying eyes.

(Gmaj7)But you'll always be (Em7)mine in the back of my mind.

(A7sus)Oh, (A7)we had a (Em7)night,

just a little while.

(A7)life.

(D)There's always one

(C)that gets (Gmaj7)away,

the (D)one who sneaks up on (C)you then slips (Gmaj7)away.

(D)In a closed off (C)corner of my heart

(Gmaj7)I'll (D)always see your face,

(G5)the one that got away.

(C)The one that got away.

(G)Oh, the one that got away.

(C)Oh, the one that got away.

(G)Oh, the one that got away.

(D)I'm not a victim of clichés;

(C)I don't believe in soul mates,
