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 lyin' 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 screamin', "go, go, [G] go!"
But with three of us, honey
It's a side show
[Dm] And a circus ain't 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 si-i-i-i-ide
[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
