G
I grew up beneath the trees
D
Not far from the refineries
Em
Aimed at the sky, like smoking guns
Am C D G D
I learned to walk, I learned to run away
G
Tracing back our history
D
It's a wonder how we came to be
Em
A love driven through a dozen States
Am C D G D
With your technique for keeping me awake
G
The day we met is still a blur
D
Though I remember just how nice you were
Em
And what you wore in Central Park
Am C D G
And how you left before the darkness fell
CHORUS:
C D G
Now I cry over these strings
D Em
This sentimental case of things
Am G6 C
Though I'm better with each passing day
Am G6 C D/F# G D Dsus4 D
I guess you'll be the one who got away

'Cause everyone has one of those

You wear them like you wear your clothes
Em
Except they don't come off at night
Am C D G
They are the space you hold up to the light
INTERLUDE: D Dsus4 D Em Em7 C D
G
And somewhere along the line
D
You'll turn into a friend of mine
Em
Who knows of my unspoken cares
Am C D G
Amid the aftermath of love affairs
CHORUS:
C D G
Still I cry over these strings
D Em
This sentimental case of things
Am G6 C
Though I'm better with each passing day
Am G6 C D/F# G D Dsus4 D
I guess you'll be the one who got away
G
Now I stand beneath these trees
D
Not far from the refineries
Em
Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun
Am C D G
I'll learn to walk, I'll learn to run again
