The Bolter / Getaway Car / August / The Other Side Of The Door

[Intro Getaway Car]

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

          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

[Pré Refrão Getaway Car]

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

[Refrão Getaway Car]

           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

[Refrão August]

    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
G
August slipped away
                  Em
Into a moment in time
                     A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us

Twistin' in bedsheets
G
August sipped away
                  Em
Like a bottle of wine
                       A
'Cause you were never mine

[Refrão 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

Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving

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
                C
Then came out alive

[Ponte August]

D
  Back when we were still
                  G
Changin' for the better
               Em
Wanting was enough
                 A
For me, it was enough
                 D
To live for the hope of it all
                        G
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Em
And say "meet me behind the mall"
                    A
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
                    D         G
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                     Em   A
You weren't mine to lose, oh

[Ponte The Bolter]

G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
               C
First, they're off to the races

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'

There's an escape in escaping

[Ponte Getaway Car]

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

[Refrão Getaway Car]

  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

[Outro Getaway Car]

      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

[Outro The Other Side Of The Door]

D
With your face and your beautiful eyes
        A
And the conversation with the little white lies
        Em
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
   G                     A
You carried me from your car up the stairs
       D
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess
       A
After everything and that little black dress
      Em
After everything I must confess
 C
I need you
