Intro: [G]
[C]By all accounts, [G]she almost drowned
When she was six in frigid [F]water
And I can confirm she [C]made
A curious child, ever [G]reviled
By everyone except her own [F]father
With a quite bewitching [C]face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly [G]helpless
Excellent fun 'til you get to [F]know her
Then she runs like its a [C]race
Behind her back, her best mates [G]laughed
And they nicknamed her The [F]Bolter
[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
By as she was [F]leaving
[F]It felt like breathing
[G.]All her fuckin' [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
[C]He was a cad, wanted her [G]bad
Just like any good trophy [F]hunter
And she likes 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 its all roses, portrait [G]poses
Central Park lake in tiny [F]rowboats
What a charming [C]Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest [G]leaks
[G]Down in the floorboards
And she just [F]knows
[F]She must bolt
[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 fuckin' [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
[G]She's been many places with
[Am]Men of many faces
First they're [C]off to the races
And she's [C]laughing drawing aces
But, [G]none of it is changin'
That the [Am]chariot is waiting
Hearts [C]are hers for the waitin'
There's [C]escape in escaping
[D]We were jet-set, [A]Bonnie and Clyde [Em](oh-oh)
Until I switched to the other [G]side
To the other si-i-i-ide
[D]It's no surprise I [A]turned you in [Em](oh-oh)
'Cause us traitors [G]never win
[D]I'm in a getaway car
[A]I left you at 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
[D]Drivin' 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 [D]me
In a getaway car, [A]oh-oh-ohh
No, they never get far, [Em]oh-oh-ohh-ahh
No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car
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 [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 [G]goodbye in a getaway car
[A]'Cause it always ends up with a town car [Em]speeding
Out the [G]drive one evening
[D]It ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best [A]stories you can be sure
That as she was [Em]leaving
It felt like [G]freedom
