Lyrics

I never meant to get us in this deep.

I (Bb)never meant for this to mean a thing.

Oh, I (G7)wish you were the one,

(F6)wish you were the one that got away.

I got caught up by the chase,

and (Bb)you got high on ev'ry little game.

I (Gm)wish you were the one,

(F6)wish you were the one that got away.

(Gm)Oh, if I (F)could go back in time,

when you (Asus)only held me in my mind,

just (F)a longing, gone (E7sus)without (Asus)a trace.

Oh, I wish (F)I'd (Dm)never (F6)ever seen (Asus)your face.

I (F5)wish (G5)you were the one,

(E5)wish (F5)you were the one (E5)that got away.

I miss the way you wanted me

when I was staying just out of your reach,

(Gm)begging for the slightest touch.

(Bb6)Ooh, you couldn't (Em7)get enough.

Mmm.

(Dm)Got away from me,

got away from me

'fore anybody has to bleed.

Oh, if I (F)could go back in time,

when you (Asus)only held me in my (Bb)mind,

just (F)a longing, gone (E7sus)without (Asus)a trace.

(Gm)Oh, I wish (F)I'd (Dm)never ever (F6)seen your (Asus)face.

I (F5)wish (G5)you were the one,

I (E5)wish (F5)you were the one,

(E5)oh, I (F5)wish (G5)you were the one,

I (E5)wish (F5)you were the one (E5)that got away.
