Chords for The One that Got Away

I've met many [C] people that have shaped me into the person I am today.
[Eb] Even though some relationships [Bb] didn't work out, I've learned a lot from them.
_ [A] Here's [Bb] my story and the many [G] people I've encountered in my life. _ _
After some stressful times back at [Bbm] home, I decided to go on a two-month solo trip around South [B] Asia.
[G] I wanted to be immersed in a [Eb] culture where I was unfamiliar with the [Ab] language and the streets.
My main goal on this trip was [Am] to find myself by getting lost.
[F] For some [D] odd reason, I always seem to meet [A] someone when I least expect it.
[C] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[D] Are you from here?
_ _ Oh, cool.
[Eb] I'm Kevin.
Nice to meet _ [D] you.
Nice to meet you. _
Even [Eb] though I just met him, [A] it felt as if we were already [Am] close friends.
He made me feel [C] comfortable and he reminded me of a [D] friend I had back at home.
[Bb] Life's kind of crazy how we meet [Ab] strangers.
They randomly appear and soon become an important part of our lives.
[D] This is what I call serendipity.
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Ab] When I was hanging out with him, I realized I [Bb] was slowly beginning to develop feelings.
[Ab] You could call it a crush.
You know that kind where all they [Gm] do, you can't help but have a silly smile on your face?
[Ab] Where even though you have a busy [Bb] schedule, you would still find time to see them.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Gm] Being the hopeless romantic [Eb] that I am, [D] I started to think of crazy things like, I wonder [Ab] how
his hair smelled and how our [Bb] wedding would look like.
He _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ had this charm and [Fm] quality about him that made me [D] like him even more.
[F] I knew what I was feeling [Eb] was silly because [Fm] it wouldn't last.
One [Gm] day, this will all disappear.
[F] But [Fm] I wasn't ready to face my problems.
[Eb]
I wanted to go with the flow.
[Fm] So I fought against my feelings and [Gm] wore my heart on my sleeve.
_ _ [Ab] _ When things were starting to [Gm] get complicated, [Eb] I tried to suppress my [Gb] feelings by keeping my distance.
But [Fm] it was too late.
_ [Bb] I was already falling for him.
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _

_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
Sadly, as much as we wanted to be together, we just couldn't continue.
We were in different stages within our lives and we needed this time to grow up and explore
life by [Fm] ourselves.
It was really hard to say our [Ebm] goodbyes because a part of me felt as if he was the [Db] one.
_ If we ever meet again, things would be different.
This time, I would [F] stay. _ _
