This tab is an 'acoustic arrangement', the chords don't fit for Katy Perry's official acoustic version
of the song, but the strumming pattern does!

[Verse]


Summer after h

igh school whe

n we first met

We make out in

 your mustang 

to Radiohead
            
And on my 18th

              
 birthday we g

            
ot matching ta

ttoos
        
Used to steal 

your parent's 

liquor and cli

mb to the roof

Talk about our

 future like w

e had a clue
            
Never planned 

              
that one day I

             
'd be losing y

ou


[Chorus]

             
In another lif

              
e I would be y

    
our girl
              
We keep all ou

            
r promises be 

              
us against the

 
 world
             
In another lif

              
e I would make

     
 you stay
              
So I don't hav

            
e to say you w

              
ere the one th

       
at got away

The one that g

ot away.


[Verse]


I was June and

 you were my J

ohnny Cash
      
Never one with

out the other 

we made a pact
            
Sometimes when

              
 I miss you I 

              
put those reco

   
rds on... woe

Someone said y

ou had your ta

ttoo removed

Saw you downto

wn singing the

 blues
            
It's time to f

              
ace the music 

              
I'm no longer 

     
your muse


[Chorus]

              
But in another

             
 life I would 

       
be your girl
              
We keep all ou

            
r promises be 

              
us against the

 
 world
             
In another lif

              
e I would make

     
 you stay
              
So I don't hav

            
e to say you w

              
ere the one th

       
at got away

The one that g

ot away.
           
The one   the 

      
one   the one

The one that g

ot away.


[Bridge]

             
All this money

              
 can't buy me 

           
a time machine

   
. No.
              
Can't replace 

            
you with a mil

            
lion rings. No

 
.
              
I shoulda told

             
 you what you 

           
meant to me. W

   
oe.

Cause now I pa

y the price.


[Chorus]

             
In another lif

              
e I would be y

    
our girl
              
We keep all ou

The one that g

[Outro]

             
In another lif
