[Verse]
D*
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

D
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes

  A
I struck a match and blew your mind

            Em                       G
But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it

D
The ties were black, the lies were white

   A
In shades of gray in candlelight

            Em                    G
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason
[Pre-chorus]
D
X marks the spot where we fell apart

A
He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself

   Em
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed

   G                   N.C.
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
[Chorus]
         D
You were driving the getaway car

        A
We were flying, but we never get far

Em                                 G
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me

D                                   A
Driving the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart

Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me

D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh

    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
D A Em G x2 [Verse]
          D
It was the great escape, the prison break

    A
The light of freedom on my face

               Em                       G
But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin'

      D                                                  A
While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!"

A
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow

Em                                            G
And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
[Pre-chorus]
D
X marks the spot where we fell apart

A
He poisoned the well, every man for himself

   Em
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed

   G                      N.C.
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
[Chorus]
         D
You were driving the getaway car

        A
We were flying, but we never get far

Em                                 G
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me

D                                   A
Riding in the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart

Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me

D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh

    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
D A Em G x2 [Chorus]
D
I can see us lost in the memory

A                                    Em                        G
August slipped away into a moment in time, 'cause it was never mine

D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

A                                   Em                        G
August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause it was never mine
[Bridge]
D                A
We were jet set, Bonnie and Clyde

Em                             G
'Til I switched to other side, to the other side

D                  A
It's no surprise I turned you in, oh

Em                 G
'Cause us traitors never win

D                     A
I'm in a getaway car, I left you in the motel bar

        Em                                     G*
Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me
[Chorus]
D                                    A
Driving in a getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart

Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me

D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh

    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Outro]
      D                              A
I was ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car

      Em                               G
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car

D                              A
Ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car

      Em                               G
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car

D
With your face and the beautiful eyes

        A
And the conversation with the little white lies

        Em
And the faded picture of a beautiful night

    G*
You carry me from your car up the stairs

      D
And I broke down cryin', was she worth this mess?

      A
After everything and that little black dress

      Em                          C*
After everything, I must confess I need you
