The One Who Got Away - Abbie Gilligan [Verse 1]
Am          Dm     F            E7
Bright blue skies, remind me of hoping

     Am       Dm             F                E7
That you'd be there, through dark and through broken

    F               G7            Am                 Dm7
But now that you're gone away, my heart is left wide open

    F            G7          Am
Yet that doesn't mean you're gone
[Verse 2]
Am        Dm  F          E7
Days pass by. Time isn't stopping

    Am          Dm       F           E7
The world seems fine, it could’ve forgotten

     F            G7              Am        Dm7
That you were the one to make the sacrifice again

    F            G7       Am
Oh, why couldn't you just stay

    F            G7       Asus4A
Oh, why couldn't you just stay
[Chorus]
F           Am              G#aug        Am
Battle upon battle, how the people don't regret

    F           Am              G#aug              E
The hero cannot be the one, the one they leave for dead

C                 E                 Am               F
Fighting seems so simple, when your lives are not at stake.

           Am            E           Am
But you'll sacrifice the one who got away
[Verse 3]
    Am     Dm         F             E7
Our family seems all shattered, and broken

    Am            Dm         F      E7
The lives they’ll lead, will now be unspoken

    F           G7                  Am               Dm7
The ones who’ll protect me, I won’t let them live in shame

        F        G7           Am
Because you left me in the endgame,

    F           G7             Asus4A
The fight you’d lost in the endgame
[Chorus]
F           Am              G#aug        Am
Battle upon battle, how the people don't regret

    F           Am              G#aug              E
The hero cannot be the one, the one they leave for dead

C                 E                 Am               F
Fighting seems so simple, when your lives are not at stake.

           Am            E           Am
But you'll sacrifice the one who got away
[Bridge / Middle 8]
C                     E
Did all humanity just think I’d cope?

Am                        F
With being left with only love and hope

C                  E
That I wouldn't go avenge your name

Am                               F
the name that took you all those years to claim
[Chorus]
F           Am              G#aug        Am
Battle upon battle, how the people don't regret

    F           Am              G#aug              E
The hero cannot be the one, the one they leave for dead

C                 E                 Am               F
Fighting seems so simple, when your lives are not at stake.

           Am            E           Am
But you'll sacrifice the one who got away
