Performance @ Eras Tour Melbourne Night 2
Verse:
E MajorE
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
E MajorE
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
BB
I struck a match and blew your mind
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it
E MajorE
The ties were black, the lies were white
BB
In shades of gray in candlelight
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason
Pre-chorus:
E MajorE
X marks the spot where we fell apart
BB
He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
F# minorF#m
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
A augmentedA N.C.
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
Chorus:
E MajorE
You were driving the getaway car
BB
We were flying, but we never get far
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
E MajorE BB
Driving the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E MajorE BB F# minorF#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
A augmentedA
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
E MajorE BB F# minorF#m A augmentedA x2
Verse:
E MajorE
It was the great escape, the prison break
BB
The light of freedom on my face
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin'
E MajorE BB
While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!"
BB
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
Pre-chorus:
E MajorE
X marks the spot where we fell apart
BB
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
F# minorF#m
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
A augmentedA N.C.
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
Chorus:
E MajorE
You were driving the getaway car
BB
We were flying, but we never get far
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
E MajorE BB
Riding in the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E MajorE BB F# minorF#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
A augmentedA
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
E MajorE BB F# minorF#m A augmentedA x2
Chorus:
E MajorE
I can see us lost in the memory
BB F# minorF#m A augmentedA
August slipped away into a moment in time, 'cause it was never mine
E MajorE
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
BB F# minorF#m A augmentedA
August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause it was never mine
Bridge:
E MajorE BB
We were jet set, Bonnie and Clyde
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
'Til I switched to other side, to the other side
E MajorE E MajorE
It's no surprise I turned you in, oh
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
'Cause us traitors never win
E MajorE BB
I'm in a getaway car, I left you in the motel bar
F# minorF#m G*
Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me
Chorus:
E MajorE BB
Driving in a getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E MajorE BB F# minorF#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
A augmentedA
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Outro:
E MajorE BB
I was ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car
E MajorE BB
Ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car
E MajorE
With your face and the beautiful eyes
BB
And the conversation with the little white lies
F# minorF#m
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
G*
You carry me from your car up the stairs
E MajorE
And I broke down cryin', was she worth this mess?
BB
After everything and that little black dress
F# minorF#m C*
After everything, I must confess I need you
