Getaway chords by The Milk Carton Kids

Chords with lyrics

*Capo on 6th Fret (Chords are relative to capo)

G+G                               C majorC
The shatter of the bottles would scare me somethin' awful as a kid
G+G                              C majorC
My fear, how it would harden and find home in places that I hid


CHORUS:

A minorAm
I'd tear 'em down
D MajorD
I'd run away
A minorAm
Never found
  Cmaj7Cmaj7
My getaway

G+G                             C majorC
Outside Tuscaloosa, the time you thought you'd turn it all around
G+G                               C majorC
Remember how you used to think, you could salvage anything you found

CHORUS
A minorAm
you knew it then
D MajorD
you know it now
A minorAm
rattle chains
       Cmaj7Cmaj7
still rattles loud


BRIDGE:
C majorC
and all those years of movin'
A minorAm      D MajorD     G+G
I was slowly losin' all my name
C majorC             A minorAm        D MajorD       Cmaj7Cmaj7
no matter what I ruined it couldn't hold a candle to the pain

Ooo Ooo


CHORUS:
A minorAm
My tears are real
D MajorD
and all my own
A minorAm
pourin' down
     Cmaj7Cmaj7
their awful low

G+G                               C majorC
The soft roll of the water reminds me of my father's parting words
G+G                              C majorC
Son now don't you bother lookin' for your place out in the world


CHORUS:
A minorAm
the tidal roll
D MajorD
through the waves
A minorAm
son you'll find
    Cmaj7Cmaj7
your getaway
