Chords

[Intro] N.C No, nothing good starts in a getaway car [Verse 1]
          C
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes

  G
I struck a match and blew your mind

             Dm
But I didn't mean it

               F
And you didn't see it

    C
The ties were black, the lies were white

   G
In shades of gray in candlelight

            Dm
I wanted to leave him

           F
I needed a reason
[Pre-Chorus]
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart

G
He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself

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

F
We never had a shot, gunshot in the dark
(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
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 2]
          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 shot, gunshot 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
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

[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

 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
(Oh!) [Chorus]

Drivin' the getaway car

I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
