Tone: [C]
Verse 1:
[C]By all accounts, she almost [G]drowned
When she was six in frigid [F]water
And I can confirm she [C]made
a curious child, ever rev[G]reviled
By everyone except her own [F]father
With a quite bewitching [C]face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly [G]helpless
Excellent fun till you get to [F]know her
Then she runs like it's a [C]race
Behind her back, her best mates [G]laughed
And they nicknamed her The [F]Bolter
Chorus:
[C]Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like [G]this"
But it always ends up with a town car [F]speeding
[F]Out the drive one evening
[C]Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a [G]whore
[G]Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was [F]leaving
[F]It felt like breathing
[G]All her xxxxin' [Am]lives
Flashed before her [F]eyes
[G]It feels like the [Am]time
She fell through the [F]ice
[F]Then came out alive
Verse 2:
[C]He was a cad, wanted her [G]bad
Just like any good trophy [F]hunter
And she liked the way it [C]tastes
Taming a bear, making him [G]care
Watching him jump then pulling him [F]under
And at first blush, this is [C]fate
When it's all roses, portrait [G]poses
Central Park Lake in tiny [F]rowboats
What a charming Satur[C]Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest [G]leaks
[G]Down in the floorboards
And she ju[F]just knows
[F]She must bolt
Chorus:
[C]Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like [G]this"
But it always ends up with a town car [F]speeding
[F]Out the drive one evening
[C]Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a [G]whore
[G]Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was [F]leaving
[F]It felt like breathing
[G]All her xxxxin' [Am]lives
Flashed before her [F]eyes
[G]It feels like the [Am]time
She fell through the [F]ice
[F]Then came out alive
Bridge:
[G]She's been many places with
[Am]Men of many faces
First they're [G]off to the races
And she's [Am]laughing drawin' aces
But, [G]none of it is changin'
That the [Am]chariot is waitin'
Hearts are [G]hers for the breakin'
There's [Am]escape in escaping
Chorus:
[C]Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like [G]this"
But it always ends with a town car [F]speeding
[F]Out the drive one evenin'
[C]Ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best [G]stories
[G]You can be sure
That as she was [F]leaving
[F]It felt like freedom
[G]All her xxxxin' [Am]lives
Flashed before her [F]eyes
[F]And she realized
[G]It feels like the [Am]time
She fell through the [F]ice
[F]Then came out alive
