It was the [C]best of times, the worst of crimes I [G]struck a match and blew your mind But I didn’t [Dm]mean it And you didn’t [F]see it The [C]ties were black, the lies were white In [G]shades of grey and candlelight I wanted to [Dm]leave him I needed a [F]reason

[C]X marks the spot, where we fell apart [G]He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself I [Dm]knew it from the first, old Fashioned, we were cursed [F]We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

You were [C]driving the getaway car We were [G]flying, but we’d never get far [Am]Don’t pretend it’s such a mystery [F]Think about the place where you first met me We’re [C]riding in a getaway car There were [G]sirens in the beat of your heart [Am]Should’ve known I’d be the first to leave [F]Think about the place where you first met me

[C]In a getaway car, oh-oh [G] No, they never get far, oh-ahh [Dm] No, [F]nothing good starts in a getaway car

It was the [C]great escape, the prison break The [G]light of freedom on my face But you weren’t [Dm]thinking And I was just [F]drinking Well [C]he was running after us I was screaming, “go, go, [G]go!” But with three of us, honey It’s a side show, [Dm]and a circus aingt a love story And now we’re [F]both sorry (we’re both sorry)

[C]X marks the spot, where we fell apart [G]He poisoned the well, every man for himself I [Dm]knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed It [F]hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart

You were [C]driving the getaway car We were [G]flying, but we’d never get far [Am]Don’t pretend it’s such a mystery [F]Think about the place where you first met me [C]Riding in a getaway car There were [G]sirens in the beat of your heart [Am]Should’ve known I’d be the first to leave [F]Think about the place where you first met me

[C]In a getaway car, oh-oh[G] No, they never get far, oh-ahh[Dm] No, [F]nothing good starts in a getaway car

[D]We were jet-set, [A]Bonnie and Clyde [Em] Until I switched to the other [G]side, to the other side [D]It’s no surprise I [A]turned you in [Em] ‘Cause us traitors [G]never win

[D]I’m in a getaway car [A]I left you in a motel bar Put the [Em]money in a bag and I stole the keys [G]That was the last time you ever saw me

[D]Driving the getaway car We were [A]flying, but we’d never get far (don’t pretend) [Em] Don’t pretend it’s such a mystery [G]Think about the place where you first met me [D]Riding in a getaway car There were [A]sirens in the beat of your heart [Dm]Should’ve known I’d be the first to leave [G]Think about the place where you first met me

[D]In a getaway car, oh-oh[A] No, they never get far, oh-ahh[Em] No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car

I was [D]riding in a getaway car, I was [A]crying in a getaway car I was [Em]dying in a getaway car, said [G]goodbye in a getaway car [D]Riding in a getaway car, I was [A]crying in a getaway car I was [Em]dying in a getaway car, said [G]goodbye in a getaway [D]car
