The Bolter/getaway Car

C                G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
                          F
When she was six in frigid water
                        C
But you can confirm she made
                        G
A curious child, ever reviled
                            F
By everyone except her own father
                        C
With a quite bewitching face
                               G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
                              F
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
                         C
Then she runs like it's a race
                                G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
                             F
And they nicknamed her "Thе Bolter"

C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then he'll call her a whore
G
Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving
F
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
F
Then came out alive

C                          G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
                             F
Just like any good trophy hunter
                            C
And she likes the way it tastes
                             G
Taming a bear, making him care

Watching him jump then pulling him
F
Under
                               C
And at first blush, this is fate
                                G
When it's all roses, portrait poses
                            F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
                  C
What a charming Saturday
Continúa después del anuncio
                                      G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
G
Down in the floorboards
              F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt

Car speeding

[Puente]

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

[Puente]

D                       A
Cause we were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde
 Em
(Oh-oh)

'Til I switched to the other side, to the
     G
Other side

To the other si-i-i-ide
D                     A
It's no surprise I turned you in
 Em
(Oh-oh)
                           C9
'Cause us traitors never win
D
I'm in a getaway car
A
I left you in a motel bar
         Em
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
G
That was the last time you ever saw me

[Estribillo]

D
Drivin' the getaway car
            A
There were sirens in the beat

Of you heart
Em
Should've known I'd be the first

To leave
G
Think about the place where you first
     D
Met me
                          A
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
                                Em
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
    G
No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car

[Final]

       D
I was ridin' in a getaway car
      A
I was cryin' in a getaway car
      Em
I was dyin' in a getaway car
       G
Said goodbye in a getaway car
D
Ridin' in a getaway car
       A
I was cryin' in a getaway car
       Em
I was dyin' in a getaway car
      G                      D
Said goodbye in a getaway car

[Final]

A
' Cause it always ends up with a town
     Em
Car speeding
             G
Out the drive one evenin'
D
It ended with the slam of a door
                           A
But she's got the best stories

You can be sure
                  Em
That as she was leaving
                 G
It felt like freedom
