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'
        C
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
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
   F
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car



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)
          G
'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

(Oh!)


Chorus:
 D
Drivin' the getaway car
    A                   Em
We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)

Don't pretend it's such a mystery
G
Think about the place where you first met me
D
Ridin' in a getaway car
      A                     Em
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known)

I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
G                     D
Think about the place where you first met me
            A
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
               Em
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh
  G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
