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?
