It was the [C]best of times, the worst of crimes
I [G]struck a match and blew your mind
But I didn't [Dm] mean it
And you didn’t [F] see it
The [C] ties were black, the lies were white
In [G] shades of grey and candlelight
I wanted to [Dm]leave him
I needed a [F]reason
[C] X marks the spot, where we fell apart
[G] He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
I [Dm] knew it from the first
[F] We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were [C]driving the getaway car
We were [G] flying, but we'd never get far
[Am] Don't pretend it's such a mystery
[F] Think about the place where you first met me
We're [C] riding in a getaway car
There were [G] sirens in the beat of your heart
[Am] Should've known I'd be the first to leave
[F] Think about the place where you first met me
[C] In a getaway car, oh-oh [G]
No, they never get far, oh-ahh [Dm]
No, [F] nothing good starts in a getaway car
It was the [C]great escape, the prison break
The [G]light of freedom on my face
But you weren’t [Dm]thinking
And I was just [F]drinking
Well [C] he was running after us
I was screamin', "go, go, [G]go!"
[Dm] And a circus ain't a love story
And now we’re [F]both sorry
[C]X marks the spot, where we fell apart
[G] He poisoned the well, every man for himself
I [Dm]knew it from the first
It [F]hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
You were [C]driving the getaway car
We were [G]flying, but we'd never get far
[Am]Don't pretend it's such a mystery
[F]Think about the place where you first met me
[C]Riding in a getaway car
There were [G]sirens in the beat of your heart
[Am]Should've known I'd be the first to leave
[F]Think about the place where you first met me
[C]In a getaway car, oh-oh[G]
No, they never get far, oh-ahh[Dm]
No, [F]nothing good starts in a getaway car
[D]We were jet-set, [A]Bonnie and Clyde [Em]
Until I switched to the other [G]side
[D]It's no surprise I [A]turned you in [Em]
'Cause us traitors [G]never win
[D]I'm in a getaway car
[A]I left you in a motel bar
Put the [Em]money in a bag and I stole the keys
[G]That was the last time you ever saw me
[D]Driving the getaway car
We were [A]flying, but we'd never get far (don't pretend) [Em]
[G]Think about the place where you first met me
[D]Riding in a getaway car
There were [A]sirens in the beat of your heart
[Dm]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, oh-oh[A]
No, they never get far, oh-ahh[Em]
No, [G]nothing good starts in a getaway car
I was [D]riding in a getaway car
I was [A]crying in a getaway car
I was [Em]dying in a getaway car
Said [G]goodbye in a getaway car
[D]Riding in a getaway car
I was [A]crying in a getaway car
I was [Em]dying in a getaway car
Said [G]goodbye in a getaway [D]car
