My first tab, listen to the music it plays along to the record of Jake Coco
It is best with Acoustic Guitar.
Strum the verse chords once and play with the chord gently.
By Ben Olney.
(Verse 1)
ASummer after high school when we first met
EWe made out in your Mustang to Radio head
And F#mon my 18th birthday we got matching tDattoos
Used to sAteal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
ETalk about our future like we had a clue
F#mNever planned that one day I'd be losing Dyou
(Chorus)
And in another Alife you would be my Egirl
We'd keep all our F#mpromises, be us against the Dworld
And in another Alife I would make you Estay
So I don't have to F#msay you were the one that got Daway
The one that got awAay
(Verse 2)
(Play chords muted along to beat)
AYou were June and I was Johnny Cash
ENever one, without the other, we made a pact
F#mSometimes when I miss you, I put those records Don, whoa
ASomeone said that you had your tattoo removed
EThey said they saw you downtown just singing the blues
F#mIt's time to face the music, I'm longer your Dmuse
(Chorus) (unmuted normal strum)
And in another Alife you would be my Egirl
We'd keep all our F#mpromises, be us against the Dworld
And in other Alife I would make you Estay
So I don't have to F#msay you were the one that got Daway
The one that got Aaway
A E
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoaF#m  
Whoa whoa whoa whoaD  
The one that got awayF#m  
(continue F#m) A   D  F#m  
And all this money cant buy me a time machine, No
Cant replace you with a Amillion Drings, F#mno
I should have told you what you Ameant to Dme, F#mwhoa
Cause now I pay the Eprice
(Chorus as before)
