[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
