[Intro]
N.C
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Verse 1]
CIt was the best of times, the worst of crimes
GI struck a match and blew your mind
DmBut I didn't mean it
FAnd you didn't see it
CThe ties were black, the lies were white
GIn shades of gray in candlelight
DmI wanted to leave him
FI needed a reason
[Pre-Chorus]
CX marks the spot where we fell apart
GHe poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
DmI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
FWe never had a shot, gunshot in the dark
(Oh!)
[Chorus]
CYou were drivin' the getaway car
G DmWe were flyin', but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
FThink about the place where you first met me
CRidin' in a getaway car
G DmThere were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F CThink about the place where you first met me
GIn a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
DmNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
FNo, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Verse 2]
CIt was the great escape, the prison break
GThe light of freedom on my face
DmBut you weren't thinkin'
FAnd I was just drinkin'
C GWell, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
DmBut with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
FAnd now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
[Pre-Chorus]
CX marks the spot where we fell apart
GHe poisoned the well, every man for himself
DmI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
FIt hit you like a shot, gunshot to the heart
(Oh!)
[Chorus]
CYou were drivin' the getaway car
G DmWe were flyin', but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
FThink about the place where you first met me
CRidin' in a getaway car
G DmThere were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F CThink about the place where you first met me
GIn a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
DmNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
FNo, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Bridge]
D A Em We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh)
GUntil 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
EmPut the money in a bag and I stole the keys
GThat was the last time you ever saw me
(Oh!)
[Chorus]
DDrivin' the getaway car
A EmWe were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
GThink about the place where you first met me
DRidin' in a getaway car
A EmThere were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known)
I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
G DThink about the place where you first met me
AIn a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
EmNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
GNo, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[Outro]
DI was ridin' in a getaway car
AI was cryin' in a getaway car
EmI was dyin' in a getaway car
GSaid goodbye in a getaway car
DRidin' in a getaway car
AI was cryin' in a getaway car
EmI was dyin' in a getaway car
G DSaid goodbye in a getaway car
