We Dlaughed, we laughed, we laughed
CWe laughed 'til tears ran down my Gface
OhD, but my man you're someone Celse's man

[Verse 1]

D C

I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe

He was playing with his band

D C G

I've always been a sucker, had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand

D C

His words were like heaven in my hurricane

My knees buckled under, I thought everyone was watching me

D C G

Watching you save my life with a song

[Pre-chorus 1]

You were mine

In the back of my mind

Oh, just for one night

Just for a while

[Chorus]

D C G

There's always one that gets away

D C G

The one that sneaks up on you that slips away

[Verse 2]

D C

Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment

He was making cappuccino

I said what kind of man makes cappuccino

We laughed, we laughed, we laughed

C G

We laughed 'til tears ran down my face

D C

Oh, but my man you're someone else's man

And that ain't the man that I wanna want

D C G

But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lyin' eyes

[Pre-chorus 2]

You'll always be mine

In the back of my mind

Oh, we had a night

Just a little while

[Chorus]

D C G

There's always one that gets away

D C G

The one that sneaks up on you, that slips away

D C G

In a closed off corner of my heart, yes

D C G

I'll always see your face

[Pre-chorus 3]

You were mine

Somewhere in time

I'll look for you first

In my next life
