Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
                            G
By all accounts, she almost drowned

                           Fmaj7
When she was six in frigid water

                      C
And I can confirm she made

                        G
A curious child, ever reviled

                           Fmaj7
By everyone except her own father

                        C
With a quite bewitching face

                               G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless

                              Fmaj7
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

                            Fmaj7
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss

                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

                                      Fmaj7
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
               Fmaj7
But as she was leaving

                       G
It felt like breathing
[Post-Chorus]
                Am
All her fuckin' lives

                   Fmaj7  G
Flashed before her eyes

                  Am
It feels like the time

                     Fmaj7
She fell through the ice

                    C
Then came out alive
[Verse 2]
                         G
He was a cad, wanted her bad

                          Fmaj7
Just like any good trophy hunter

                         C
And she liked the way it tastes

                          G
Taming a bear, making him care

                                   Fmaj7
Watching him jump then pulling him under

                            C
And at first blush, this is fate

                              G
When it's all roses, portrait poses

                          Fmaj7
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats

                     C
What a charming Saturday

                                  G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards
        Fmaj7
And she just knows she must bolt
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss

                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

                                      Fmaj7
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
               Fmaj7
But as she was leaving

                       G
It felt like breathing
[Post-Chorus]
                Am
All her fuckin' lives

                   Fmaj7           G
Flashed before her eyes (Ah-ah-ah)

                  Am
It feels like the time

                     Fmaj7
She fell through the ice
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
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'
N.C. There's escape in escaping [Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss

                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"

                                      Fmaj7
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
                Fmaj7
That as she was leaving

                     G
It felt like freedom
[Post-Chorus]
                Am
All her fuckin' lives

                   Fmaj7                   G
Flashed before her eyes (And she realized)

                  Am
It feels like the time

                     Fmaj7
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
