The Bolter / Getaway Car(Chords)

	        

C                G 
By all accounts, she almost drowned 
                          F 
When she was six in frigid water 
                        C 
But you can confirm she made 
                        G 
A curious child, ever reviled 
                            F 
By everyone except her own father 
                        C 
With a quite bewitching face 
                               G 
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless 
                              F 
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her 
                         C 
Then she runs like it's a race 
                                G 
Behind her back, her best mates laughed 
                             F 
And they nicknamed her 'The Bolter' 
 

C 
Started with a kiss 
                               G 
'Oh, we must stop meeting like this' 
                                      F 
But it always ends up with a town car speeding 
F 
Out the drive one evening 
C 
Ended with the slam of a door 
                      G 
Then he'll call her a whore 
G 
Wish he wouldn't be sore 
               F 
But as she was leaving 
F 
It felt like breathing 
G               Am 
All her fuckin' lives 
                   F 
Flashed before her eyes 
G                 Am 
It feels like the time 
                     F 
She fell through the ice 
F 
Then came out alive 


C                          G 
He was a cad, wanted her bad 
                             F 
Just like any good trophy hunter 
                            C 
And she likes the way it tastes 
                             G 
Taming a bear, making him care 

Watching him jump then pulling him 
F 
Under 
                               C 
And at first blush, this is fate 
                                G 
When it's all roses, portrait poses 
                            F 
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats 
                  C 
What a charming Saturday 
                                      G 
That's when she sees the littlest leaks 
G 
Down in the floorboards 
              F 
And she just knows 
F 
She must bolt 


C 
Started with a kiss 
                               G 
'Oh, we must stop meeting like this' 

But it always ends up with a town 
    F 
Car speeding 
F 
Out the drive one evening 
C 
Ended with the slam of a door 
                      G 
Then he'll call her a whore 
G 
Wish he wouldn't be sore 
               F 
But as she was leaving 
F 
It felt like breathing 
G               Am 
All her fuckin' lives 
                   F 
Flashed before her eyes 
G                 Am 
It feels like the time 
                     F 
She fell through the ice 
F 
Then came out alive 

 
Bridge:
G 
She's been many places with 
Am 
Men of many faces 
                C 
First, they're off to the races 
           C 
And she's laughing, drawin' aces 
    G 
But none of it is changin' 
          Am 
That the chariot is waitin' 
           C 
Hearts are hers for the breakin' 
         C 
There's escape in escaping 
 
Bridge:
D                       A 
Cause we were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde 
 Em 
(Oh-oh) 

'Til I switched to the other side, to the 
     G 
Other side 

To the other si-i-i-ide 
D                     A 
It's no surprise I turned you in 
 Em 
(Oh-oh) 
                           C9 
'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 


D 
Drivin' the getaway car 
            A 
There were sirens in the beat 

Of you heart 
Em 
Should've known I'd be the first 

To leave 
G 
Think about the place where you first 
     D 
Met me 
                          A 
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh 
                                Em 
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah 
    G 
No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car 


Final 

       D 
I was ridin' in a getaway car 
      A 
I was cryin' in a getaway car 
      Em 
I was dyin' in a getaway car 
       G 
Said goodbye in a getaway car 
D 
Ridin' in a getaway car 
       A 
I was cryin' in a getaway car 
       Em 
I was dyin' in a getaway car 
      G                      D 
Said goodbye in a getaway car 

Final 

A 
' Cause it always ends up with a town 
     Em 
Car speeding 
             G 
Out the drive one evenin' 
D 
It ended with the slam of a door 
                           A 
But she's got the best stories 

You can be sure 
                  Em 
That as she was leaving 
                 G 
It felt like freedom
