Intro: G Am C G Am F Verse 1: F Dear reader Am G If it feels like a trap, you're already in one F Dear reader Am G Get out your map, pick somewhere and just run F Dear reader Am G Burn all the files, desert all your past lives F Am And if you don't recognize yourself G That means you did it right
Chorus: G Am F Never take advice from someone who's falling apart G Am F Never take advice from someone who's falling apart Interlude: F G Am C G By all accounts, she almost drowned F When she was six in frigid water C And I can confirm she made G A curious child, ever reviled F By everyone except her own father C With a quite bewitching fase G Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless F Excellent fun 'til you get to know her C Then she runs like it's a race G Behind her back, her best mates laughed F And they nicknamed her "The Bolter" Chorus: C Started with a Kiss G "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" F But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding Out the drive one evening C Ended with the slam of a door G Then he'll call her a whore Wish he wouldn't be sore F But as she was leaving G It felt like breathing Post-Chorus: Am All her fuckin' lives F G Flashed before her eyes Am It feels like the time F She fell through the ice Then came out alive Bridge “The Bolter”: G She's been many places with Am Men of many faces C First, they're off to the races And she's laughing drawin' aces G But, none of it is changin' Am That the chariot is waitin' C Hearts are hers for the breakin' There's escape in escaping Bridge “Dear Reader”: F So I wander through these nights Am I prefer hiding in plain sight G My fourth drink in my hand These desperate prayers of a cursed man F Spilling out to you for free Am But darling, darling, please G You wouldn't take my word for it F If you knew who was talking Am G If you knew where I was walking F To a house, not a home, all alone 'cause nobody's there Am Where I pace in my pen and G My friends found friends who care No one sees when you lose F When you're playing solitaire Am You should find another guiding light G Guiding light But I shine so bright F Am You should find another guiding light G Guiding light But I shine so bright Outro “The Bolter”: C Started with a kiss G "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" F But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding Out the drive one evening C Ended with the slam of a door G But she's got the best stories You can be sure F That as she was leaving G It felt like freedom Post-Chorus: Am All her fuckin' lives F G Flashed before her eyes (And she realized) Am It feels like the time F She fell through the ice Then came out alive Outro “Dear Reader”: F Am G You should find another, you should find another (guiding light) G F Am G F Am Find another, you should find another G F Am G You should find another
