STANDARD TUNING w/ Capo on 3 (*= one strum) Intro- (2 strums per chord) * I saw him at the corner store He gave me candy, I came back for more I asked for his name * He said call me J for James He was 6'2 lots of style He had the recipe to make you smile But he got too popular with the girls * So I erased him from my world The next boy was cute and shy But he never really looked me in the eye Secretive I was intrigued * He was sweet, his name was Pete (Sweet Pete) First time that he took me out, I didn't know what to talk about So I took the initiative * And told Pete he had to leave So I'm back to square one With Mr. Good For Nothing John Ever since he brought me down, I can't get off the ground It's not like I don't try, And I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave, * Is the one that got away With each boy he gets worse, But I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away He's the star of the football team, Can be found in every girl's dream We've been talking for a while, * You could say that he's on trial But whenever we're alone, Your jaw's like a gramophone, cause When he goes off the field, With him goes his appeal So I'm back to square one With Mr. Good For Nothing John Ever since he brought me down, I can't get off the ground It's not like I don't try, And I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave, * Is the one that got away With each boy he gets worse, But I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away Here she goes again, With another boy on her hands Word goes around Real fast in this small town All these rumors like I'm a stark, Just wanna find someone to give my heart No luck with James, Pete or the football stud None of them can compare None of them can compare * To my John It's not like I don't try, And I'm pretty easy on the eye But the one I really crave, Is the one that got away With each boy he gets worse, But I'm still stuck on the first Really hate to say, I want the one that got away * I want the one that got away
