Verse:
D
You've been on my mind
Bm
So I said I'd find some time to let you know
G
I finally found it so
Bm A
Here goes nothing.
D Bm
I must admit I've lied
G
But before I tell you why
Bm A
Please hear me out
Bm A G
You were a chance that I was too afraid of taking
D
This is it
G
This is all I have to say
Bm F#
I used to stay awake and wonder
G
Praying for the day when you would
D
Notice me but now I'm slowly
G Bm
Noticing that while you were my world
F#
You weren't the one
G A
And now my searching days are done.
Verse:
D Em
You never said you cared for me
Bm G
You never told me anything
D Em
But the silence got me wondering
Bm
My curiosity
G
It got the best of me.
Bm A G
You got the best of me.
D
This is it
G
This is all I have to say
Bm F#
I used to stay awake and wonder
G
Praying for the day when you would
D
Notice me, but now I'm slowly
G Bm
Noticing that while you were my world
F#
You weren't the one
G A
And now my searching days are done.
Bridge:
Bm
You are the one that got away
A
You are the one that I let go of
F#
I'm so glad you ran away
G
Because I know I never could've
Told you face to face
Bm A
I started thinking things were never gonna change
F# G
That I would never find someone 'cause it was far too late.
Bm
But then she showed up
A
When I was let down
F#
I felt my heart jump
G
She helped me up from the ground and said
D
This is it
G
This is all I have to say
Bm F#
I used to stay awake and wonder
G D
Praying for the day that I would find you
G
But now it's come true
Bm F#
And I swear I'm here to stay
G A
And if you left me I would say
Ending:
Bm
You are the one that got away
A
You are the one that I let go of
F#
So please never run away
G
Because I never want to say
Bm
You are the one that got away
A
You are the one that I let go of
F#
So please never run away
G
So please never run away
Bm
You are the one who got away
A G
You are the one, the only one I can't let go of.
