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"

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
G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
G
Down in the floorboards
F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt

Men of many faces

First, they're off to the races
C
And she's laughing, drawin' aces
G
But none of it is changin'

That the chariot is waitin'
C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'

There's escape in escaping
