Lyrics and Music by Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald and Max Martin

C
Summer after high school,
When we first met,
     Em
We’d make out
In your Mustang to Radiohead.
    Am
And on my eighteenth birthday
                   F
We got matching tattoos.

Used to steal your parents’ liquor
And climb to the roof,
Talk about
Our future like we had a clue.
Never planned that one day
I’d be losing you.

Chorus:
                C
     In another life
                     Em
     I would be your girl.
                       Am
     We’d keep all our promises,
                       F
     Be us against the world.

                C
     In another life
                      Em
     I would make you stay,
                        Am
     So I don’t have to say
                                F
     You were the one that got away,
     The one that got away.

I was June and you were
My Johnny Cash.
Never one without the other,
We made a pact.
Sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on, whoa.

Someone said you had
Your tattoo removed.
Saw you downtown
Singing the Blues.
It’s time to face the music,
I’m no longer your muse.

Chorus:
     But in another life
     I would be your girl.
     We’d keep all our promises,
     Be us against the world.

     In another life
     I would make you stay,
     So I don’t have to say
     You were the one that got away,
                        C
     The one that got away.

   C      Em       Am       F
     The one, the one, the one,
                        G
     The one that got away.

Bridge:
 G
   All this money can’t buy me
     Am       Dm   G
   A time machine, no.
   Can’t replace you
          Am       Dm     G
   With a million rings, no.
   I should have told you
            Am        Dm   G
   What you meant to me, whoa,
   ‘Cause now I pay the price.

Chorus:
     In another life
     I would be your girl.
     We’d keep all our promises,
     Be us against the world.

     In another life
     I would make you stay,
     So I don’t have to say
     You were the one that got away,
                       C
     The one that got away.

   C      Em       Am       F
     The one, the one, the one.

                C
     In another life
                      Em
     I would make you stay,
                        Am
     So I don’t have to say
                                F
     You were the one that got away,
                        C
     The one that got away.
