G6add11



🎸 Verse 1:
C                  G6add11
By all accounts, she almost drowned
                           F
When she was six in frigid water
                      C
And I can confirm she made
                      G6add11
A curious child, ever reviled
                           F
By everyone except her own father
                        C
With a quite bewitching face
                               G6add11
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
                              F
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
                         C
Then she runs like its a race
                                G6add11
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
                           F
And they nicknamed her The Bolter

🎸 Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                               G6add11
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G6add11
Then he'll call her a whore
G6add11
Wish he wouldn't be sore
              F
By as she was leaving
F
It felt like breathing
G6add11         Am
All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G6add11           Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive


🎸 Verse 2:
C                        G6add11
He was a cad, wanted her bad
                          F
Just like any good trophy hunter
                         C
And she likes the way it tastes
                          G6add11
Taming a bear, making him care
                                   F
Watching him jump then pulling him under
                           C
And at first blush this is fate
                             G6add11
When its all roses, portrait poses
                          F
Central Park lake in tiny rowboats
                C
What a charming Saturday
                                  G6add11
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
G6add11
Down in the floorboards
             F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt


🎸 Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                               G6add11
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G6add11
Then he'll call her a whore
G6add11
Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving
F
It felt like breathing
G6add11         Am
All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G6add11           Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive


🎸 Bridge 1:
G6add11
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
              C
First they're off to the races
          C
And she's laughing drawing aces
     G6add11
But, none of it is changin'
          Am
That the chariot is waiting
          C
Hearts are hers for the waitin'
         C
There's escape in escaping


🎸 Bridge 2:
D                A                  Em
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh)
                              G
Until I switched to the other side

To the other si-i-i-ide
D                   A              Em
It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh)
                        Cadd9
'Cause us traitors never win
D
I'm in a getaway car
A
I left you at the motel bar
        Em
Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys
G
That was the last time you ever saw me


🎸 Chorus:
D
Drivin' the getaway car
            A
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Em
Should've known I'd be the first to leave
G                                         D
Think about the place where you first met me
                        A
In a getaway car, oh-oh-ohh
                                  Em
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ohh-ahh
    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car


🎸 Outro:
      D
I was ridin' in a getaway car
      A
I was cryin' in a getaway car
      Em
I was dyin' in a getaway car
       G
Said goodbye in a getaway car
D
Ridin' in a getaway car
       A
I was cryin' in a getaway car
      Em
I was dyin' in a getaway car
      G                    D
Said goodbye in a getaway car
A                                         Em
'Cause it always ends up with a town car speeding
            G
Out the drive one evening
 D
It ended with the slam of a door
                        A
But she's got the best stories you can be sure
                 Em
That as she was leaving
               G
It felt like freedom
