Verse
[D]No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
[D]It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
I [A]struck a match and blew your mind
But I didn't[Em]didn't mean it, and you didn't [G]see it
[D]The ties were black, the lies were white
In [A]shades of in candlelight
I wanted to [Em]leave him, I needed a [G]reason
 
Pre-chorus
[D]X marks the spot where we fell apart
[A]He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
I k[Em]knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
We [G]never had a shot gun shot in the dark
 
Chorus
You were [D]driving the getaway car
We were [A]flying, but we never get far
[Em]Don't pretend it's such a mystery, [G]think about the place where you first met me
[D]Driving the getaway car, there were [A]sirens in the beat of your heart
[Em]Should've known I'd be the first to leave,
[G]think about the place where you first met me
[D]In a getaway car, [A]oh, no they never get far, [Em]oh
No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car
 
[D] [A] [Em] [G] [D] [A] [Em] [G]
Verse
It was the[D]the great escape, the prison break
The [A]light of freedom on my face
But you weren't[Em]weren't thinkin' and I was just [G]drinkin'
While [D]he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, [A]go!"
[A]But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
[Em]And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're[G]we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
 
Pre-chorus
[D]X marks the spot where we fell apart
[A]He poisoned the well, every man for himself
I k[Em]knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
It [G]hit you like a shot gun shot to the heart
 
Chorus
You were [D]driving the getaway car
We were [A]flying, but we never get far
[Em]Don't pretend it's such a mystery, [G]think about the place where you first met me
[D]Riding in the getaway car, there wer[A]were sirens in the beat of your heart
[Em]Should've known I'd be the first to leave,
[G]think about the place where you first met me
[D]In a getaway car, [A]oh, no they never get far, [Em]oh
No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car
 
[D] [A] [Em] [G] [D] [A] [Em] [G]
Chorus
[D]I can see us lost in the memory
[A]August slipped away into a moment in [Em]time, 'cause it was never [G]mine
[D]And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
[A]August sipped away like a bottle of [Em]wine, 'cause it was never [G]mine
 
Bridge
[D]We were jet set, [A]Bonnie and Clyde
[Em]'Til I switched to other side, [G]to the other side
[D]It's no surprise I [D]turned you in, oh
[Em]'Cause us traitors [G]never win
[D]I'm in a getaway car, [A]I left you in the motel bar
Put the [Em]money in the bag and I stole
the keys, [G]that was the last time you ever saw me
 
Chorus
[D]Driving in a getaway car, there were [A]sirens in the beat of your heart
[Em]Should've known I'd be the first to leave, [G]
think about the place where you first met me
[D]In a getaway car, [A]oh, no they never get far, [Em]oh
No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car
 
Outro
I was [D]ridin' in a getaway car, I was [A]cryin' in a getaway car
I was [Em]dyin' in a getaway car, said good[G]goodbye in a getaway car
[D]Ridin' in a getaway car, I was [A]cryin' in a getaway car
I was [Em]dyin' in a getaway car, said good[G]goodbye in a getaway car
 
[D]With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the [A]conversation with the little white lies
And the [Em]faded picture of a beautiful night
You [G]carry me from your car up the stairs
And I [D]broke down cryin', was she worth this mess?
After [A]everything and that little black dress
After [Em]everything, I must confess I[C]I need you
