The Bolter / Getaway Car / August / The Other Side Of The DoorCifra

Intro

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car 

          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 

Pré-Refrão

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 



           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 




    D 
But I can see us lost in the memory 
G 
August slipped away 
                  Em 
Into a moment in time 
                     A 
'Cause it was never mine 
    D 
And I can see us 

Twistin' in bedsheets 
G 
August sipped away 
                  Em 
Like a bottle of wine 
                       A 
'Cause you were never mine 




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


Ponte:

D 
  Back when we were still 
                  G 
Changin' for the better 
               Em 
Wanting was enough 
                 A 
For me, it was enough 
                 D 
To live for the hope of it all 
                        G 
Canceled plans just in case you'd call 
                             Em 
And say 'meet me behind the mall' 
                    A 
So much for summer love and saying 'Us' 
                    D         G 
'Cause you weren't mine to lose 
                     Em   A 
You weren't mine to lose, oh 

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 

D                 A                    Em 
 We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh) 
                              G 
Until I switched to the other side 

To the other si-i-i-i-ide 
D                   A                 Em 
 It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh) 
                   G 
'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 


  D 
Drivin' the getaway car 
        A                                      Em 
We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend) 

Don't pretend it's such a mystery 
G 
Think about the place where you first met me 
D 
Ridin' in a getaway car 
            A                                          Em 
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) 

I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave 
G                                          D 
Think about the place where you first met me 
                        A 
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh 
                              Em 
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh 
    G 
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

D 
With your face and your beautiful eyes 
        A 
And the conversation with the little white lies 
        Em 
And the faded picture of a beautiful night 
   G                     A 
You carried me from your car up the stairs 
       D 
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess 
       A 
After everything and that little black dress 
      Em 
After everything I must confess 
 C 
I need you
