Intro:
N.C
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car


Verse 1:
     C majorC
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
 G+G
I struck a match and blew your mind
       DmDm
But I didn't mean it
        FF
And you didn't see it
  C majorC
The ties were black, the lies were white
  G+G
In shades of gray in candlelight
      DmDm
I wanted to leave him
      FF
I needed a reason


Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G+G
He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
 DmDm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
FF
We never had a shot, gunshot in the dark

(Oh!)

Chorus:
      C majorC
You were drivin' the getaway car
     G+G             DmDm
We were flyin', but we never get far

Don't pretend it's such a mystery
 FF
Think about the place where you first met me
 C majorC
Ridin' in a getaway car
      G+G                DmDm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart

I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
  FF                     C majorC
Think about the place where you first met me
            G+G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
               DmDm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
   FF
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car


Verse 2:
     C majorC
It was the great escape, the prison break
  G+G
The light of freedom on my face
        DmDm
But you weren't thinkin'
        C majorC
And I was just drinkin'
   C majorC                         G+G
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
                       DmDm
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow

And a circus ain't a love story
       FF
And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)


Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G+G
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
  DmDm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
  FF
It hit you like a shot, gunshot to the heart

(Oh!)


Chorus:
      C majorC
You were drivin' the getaway car
     G+G             DmDm
We were flyin', but we never get far

Don't pretend it's such a mystery
 FF
Think about the place where you first met me
 C majorC
Ridin' in a getaway car
      G+G                DmDm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart

I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
  FF                     C majorC
Think about the place where you first met me
            G+G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
               DmDm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
   FF
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car


Bridge:
D MajorD         A augmentedA          E minorEm
 We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh)
               G+G
Until I switched to the other side

To the other si-i-i-i-ide
D MajorD          A augmentedA         E minorEm
 It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh)
          G+G
'Cause us traitors never win
D MajorD
 I'm in a getaway car
A augmentedA
 I left you in a motel bar
    E minorEm
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
G+G
That was the last time you ever saw me

(Oh!)


Chorus:
 D MajorD
Drivin' the getaway car
    A augmentedA                   E minorEm
We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)

Don't pretend it's such a mystery
G+G
Think about the place where you first met me
D MajorD
Ridin' in a getaway car
      A augmentedA                     E minorEm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known)

I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
G+G                     D MajorD
Think about the place where you first met me
            A augmentedA
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
               E minorEm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
  G+G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

I was cryin' in a getaway car
   E minorEm
I was dyin' in a getaway car

Said goodbye in a getaway car
D MajorD
Ridin' in a getaway car
   A augmentedA
I was cryin' in a getaway car
   E minorEm
I was dyin' in a getaway car
   G+G          D MajorD
