🎸 Intro:

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
