Dead simple song, every chord is played for one bar. It's the same progresion all the way through
even when key changes in the bridge; which is up a whole tone (C major to D major) but still all easily
playable without a capo.

Intro
N.C
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
verse 1
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
Pre-Chorus
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
(Oh!)
Chorus
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
verse 2
C
It was the great escape, the prison break
G
The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you weren't thinkin'
C
And I was just drinkin'
C G
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', 'go, go, go!'
Dm
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
F
And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
Pre-Chorus
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
It hit you like a shot, gunshot to the heart
(Oh!)
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
(Oh!)
Chorus
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

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
