[Verse]
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 face

                               G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless

                              F
Excellent fun till 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

F
Out the drive one evening

 C
Ridin' in a getaway car

            G                               Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
   F                                         C
Think about the place where you first met me

                        G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh

                              Dm
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh

     F
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Verse]
C                        G
He was a cad, wanted her bad

                          F
Just like any good trophy hunter

                         C
And she liked the way it tastes

                          G
Taming a bear, making him care

                                   F
Watching him jump then pulling him under

                            C
And at first blush, this is fate

                              G
When it's all roses, portrait poses

                          F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats

                     C
What a charming Saturday

                                  G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks

G
Down in the floorboards

          F
And she just knows

F
She must bolt

          C
It was the great escape, the prison break

    G
The light of freedom on my face

                Dm
But you weren't thinkin'

               F
And I was just drinkin'

      C                                                  G
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"

                                             Dm
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
              F
And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)+
[Pre-Chorus]
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart

G
He poisoned the well, every man for himself

    Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed

   F
It hit you like a shotgun, shot to the heart
(Oh!) [Chorus]
           C
You were drivin' the getaway car

          G                          Dm
We were flyin', but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
 F
Think about the place where you first met me

C
Started with a kiss

                               G
"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

                      G
Then he'll call her a whore

G
Wish he wouldn't be sore

               F
But as she was leaving

F
It felt like breathing

G               Am
All her fuckin' lives

                   F
Flashed before her eyes

G                 Am
It feels like the time

                     F
She fell through the ice

F
Then came out alive
[Bridge]
G
She's been many places with

Am
Men of many faces

              C
First they're off to the races

          C
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'

        C
There's escape in escaping
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss

                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

                                   F
But it always ends with a town car speeding

F
Out the drive one evenin'
[Bridge]
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-i-ide
D                   A                 Em
 It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh)

                   Gm
'Cause us traitors never win

D
 I'm in a getaway car

A
 I left you in a motel bar

        Em
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys

G
That was the last time you ever saw me

C
Ended with the slam of a door

                       G
But she's got the best stories

G
You can be sure

                F
That as she was leaving

F
It felt like freedom
[Outro]
G               Am
All her fuckin' lives

                   F
Flashed before her eyes

F
And she realized

G                 Am
It feels like the time

                     F
She fell through the ice

F
Then came out alive
