🎶 Getaway Car

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

[A#] X marks the spot, where we fell apart
[Db] He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
I [Eb] knew it from the first
Old Fashioned, we were cursed
[Em] We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

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

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

It was the [A#]great escape, the prison break
The [Db]light of freedom on my face
But you weren’t [Eb]thinking
And I was just [Em]drinking
Well [A#] he was running after us
I was screamin', "go, go, [Db]go!"
But with three of us, honey
It's a side show
[Eb] And a circus ain't a love story
And now we’re [Em]both sorry
(we're both sorry)

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

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

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

[Cb]We were jet-set, [Bbm]Bonnie and Clyde [D#]
Until I switched to the other [Db]side
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
[Cb]It's no surprise I [Bbm]turned you in [D#]
'Cause us traitors [Db]never win

[Cb]I'm in a getaway car
[Bbm]I left you in a motel bar
Put the [D#]money in a bag and I stole the keys
[Db]That was the last time you ever saw me

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

[Cb]In a getaway car, oh-oh[Bbm]
No, they never get far, oh-ahh[D#]
No, [Db]nothing good starts in a getaway car

I was [Cb]riding in a getaway car
I was [Bbm]crying in a getaway car
I was [D#]dying in a getaway car
Said [Db]goodbye in a getaway car
[Cb]Riding in a getaway car
I was [Bbm]crying in a getaway car
I was [D#]dying in a getaway car
Said [Db]goodbye in a getaway [Cb]car
