🎸 Getaway Car - August - The Other Side Of The Door Live chords by Taylor Swift

• Capo on 2nd

Performance @ Eras Tour Melbourne Night 2

Verse:
E
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
E
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
 B
I struck a match and blew your mind
      F#m            A
But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it
E
The ties were black, the lies were white
  B
In shades of gray in candlelight
      F#m          A
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason

Pre-chorus:
E
X marks the spot where we fell apart
B
He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
  F#m
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
  A          N.C.
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

Chorus:
     E
You were driving the getaway car
    B
We were flying, but we never get far
F#m                 A
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
E                  B
Driving the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F#m                     A
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E         B              F#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
  A
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

E  B  F#m A  x2

Verse:
     E
It was the great escape, the prison break
  B
The light of freedom on my face
        F#m            A
But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin'
   E                          B
While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!"
B
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
F#m                      A
And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)

Pre-chorus:
E
X marks the spot where we fell apart
B
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
  F#m
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
  A            N.C.
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart

Chorus:
     E
You were driving the getaway car
    B
We were flying, but we never get far
F#m                 A
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
E                  B
Riding in the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F#m                     A
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E         B              F#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
  A
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

E  B  F#m A  x2

Chorus:
E
I can see us lost in the memory
B                   F#m            A
August slipped away into a moment in time, 'cause it was never mine
E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
B                  F#m            A
August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause it was never mine

Bridge:
E         B
We were jet set, Bonnie and Clyde
F#m               A
'Til I switched to other side, to the other side
E          E
It's no surprise I turned you in, oh
F#m         A
'Cause us traitors never win
E           B
I'm in a getaway car, I left you in the motel bar
    F#m                   G*
Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me

Chorus:
E                   B
Driving in a getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
F#m                     A
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
E         B              F#m
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
  A
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

Outro:
   E                B
I was ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car
   F#m                A
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car
E                B
Ridin' in a getaway car, I was cryin' in a getaway car
   F#m                A
I was dyin' in a getaway car, said goodbye in a getaway car

E
With your face and the beautiful eyes
    B
And the conversation with the little white lies
    F#m
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
  G*
You carry me from your car up the stairs
   E
And I broke down cryin', was she worth this mess?
   B
After everything and that little black dress
   F#m             C*
After everything, I must confess I need you
