No nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 1:
C
It was the best of times the worst of crimes
G
I struck a match and blew your mind
Dm
But I didn't mean it
F
And you didn't 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 lyin' to myself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned we were cursed
F
We never had a shot gunshot in the dark
-Oh!-
Chorus:
C
You were drivin' the getaway car
G Dm
We were flyin' but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridin' in a getaway car
G Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F C
Think about the place where you first met me
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
Verse 2:
C
It was the great escape the prison break
G
The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you weren't thinkin'
F
And I was just drinkin'
C G
Well he was runnin' after us I was screamin' go go go
Dm
But with three of us honey it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
F
And now we're both sorry -we're 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 shot gunshot to the heart
-Oh!-
Chorus:
C
You were drivin' the getaway car
G Dm
We were flyin' but we never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
F
Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridin' in a getaway car
G Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave
F C
Think about the place where you first met me
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
