E                      Am
They speak of jobs and positions
A                  Am
Who's seeing who, who's settled down

They casually mention your name
    A                  F
The power in a word's insane
     A                                       C
How it triggers everything to come tumbling down


[Pre-Chorus]
 C#m                  G
Into the pit of my stomach
E                       G
Boulders and butterflies coexist
E                        C
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
E               A#
Threatens to persist


[Chorus]
 A
And this unanswered question
           C
Lingers on to this later date
 A
Can I resign to never knowing
 Am
If I was your one that got away?


[Verse 2]
A
The back and forth, the on and off
Am
The "don't call anymore"
A                   Am
The leaving, the wishing I had stayed
   C
A self-inflicted prison I won't escape
         A            C            E
Like if I did the memories would decay


[Pre-Chorus]
                                D
And there'd be no more hours of dreaming
       C#m                              Dm
About what a life with you would have been
  C#m         E          Dm              E
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
                           A#
Has some twisted need to exist


[Chorus]
  A               F
And this unanswered question
        E                  A
Lingers on to this later date
       A
Can I resign to never knowing

If I was your one that got away?


[Bridge]
 F        Em                         E
Say you feel nothing when you see me
Am                      C             A
Say that where I walk, flowers have grown
                         F
Say that I rocked your world
                         A
Say that I was never your girl
  A#
Just give me something
  G
Give me something I can put in stone


[Chorus]
   A               Em
And this unanswered question
 A          C        Em
Lingers on to this later date
    A                Am
Can I resign to never knowing
             A
If I was your one that got away?
