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 
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
