The Bolter

[Intro] C  G  F

               C
We were in the backseat
                   G               
Drunk on something stronger than 
                Am  F
the drinks in the bar
          C
"I rent a place on Cornelia 
€…Street"
G                     Am   F
I say casually in the car
          C
We were a fresh page on the desk
G                           Am  F
Filling in the blanks as we go
          C                        
As if the street lights pointed in 
   G
an arrow head
           Am   F
Leading us home

                   C               
And I hope I never lose you, hope 
        G
it never ends
               Am              F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
                 C              
That's the kinda heartbreak time 
             G
could never mend
               Am              F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
          C          G         
And baby, I get mystified by how 
       Am                     F
this city screams your name
          C           G           
And baby, I'm so terrified of if 
   Am
you ever walk away
F                               C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
    G                           Am
I'd never walk Cornelia Street 
   F
again

                              G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
                           F
When she was six in frigid water
                      C
And I can confirm she made
                        G
A curious child, ever reviled
                           F
By everyone except her own father
                        C
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly 
G
helpless
                              F
Excellent fun 'til you get to know 
her

                          C
Then she runs like it's a race
Behind her back, her best mates 
G
laughed
                            F
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"

[Estribillo]

C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a town 
    F
car speeding

Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing
G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                  Am
 It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
                C
Then came out alive

[Puente]

G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
               C
First, they're off to the races

And she's laughing drawin' aces
     G
But, none of it is changin'
         Am
That the chariot is waitin'
           C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'

There's an escape in escaping

I hope I never lose you
                   Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C   G        Am    F
  Oh, never again
          C           G        
And baby, I get mystified by how 
       Am                     F
this city screams your name

And baby, I'm so terrified of if

you ever walk away

    F
car speeding

Out the drive one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                       G
But she's got the best stories

You can be sure
                F
That as she was leaving

It felt like freedom

( Cornelia street X the bolter)
              C
I don't wanna lose you, hope it 
never ends
               F
But as she was leaving, it felt like
 freedom

I don't wanna lose you, hope it
