N.C.
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
C
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
G
I struck a match and blew your mind
Dm
But I didnʼt mean it
F
And you didnʼt 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 lyinʼ to myself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
Chorus: C
You were drivinʼ the getaway car
G
We were flyinʼ, but we never get far
Dm
Donʼt pretend itʼs such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridinʼ in a getaway car
G
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Dm
I shoulda known Iʼd be the first to leave
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C 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
C
It was the great escape, the prison break
G
The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you werenʼt thinkinʼ
F
And I was just drinkinʼ
C
Well, he was runninʼ after us,
G
I was screaminʼ, «go, go, go!»
But with three of us, honey, itʼs a sideshow
Dm
And a circus ainʼt a love story
F
And now weʼre both sorry (weʼre 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 shotgun, shot to the heart
Chorus: C
You were drivinʼ the getaway car
G
We were flyinʼ, but we never get far
Dm
Donʼt pretend itʼs such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridinʼ in a getaway car
G
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Dm
I shoulda known Iʼd be the first to leave
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C 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
Itʼs no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh)
G
ʼCause us traitors never win
D
Iʼm 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
Drivinʼ the getaway car
A Em
We were flyinʼ, but we never get far (donʼt pretend)
Donʼt pretend itʼs such a mystery
G
Think about the place where you first met me
D
Ridinʼ in a getaway car
A Em
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (shouldʼve known)
I shouldaʼ known Iʼd be the first to leave
G
Think about the place where you first met me
D 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
Outro: D
I was ridinʼ in a getaway car

I was cryinʼ in a getaway car

I was dyinʼ in a getaway car

Said goodbye in a getaway car

Ridinʼ in a getaway car
A
I was cryinʼ in a getaway car
Em
I was dyinʼ in a getaway car
G D
Said goodbye in a getaway car
