[C] It was the best of times, the worst of [G] crimes
I struck a match, it blew your mind
But [Dm] I didn't mean it
And [F] you didn't see it
The [C] ties were black, the lies were white
[G] In shades of grey and candlelight
I [Dm] wanted to leave him
I [F] needed a reason
[C] X marks the spot
Where we fell [G] apart
He poisoned the well, I was lying to [Dm] myself
I knew it from the first
Old fashioned, we were [F] cursed
We never had a shotgun shot in the [C] dark
You were driving the getaway [G] car
We were flying, but we'd never get [Dm] far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
[F] Think about the place where you first met [C] me
Riding in a getaway [G] car
There were sirens in the beat of your [Dm] heart
Should've known I'd be the first to [F] leave
Think about the place where you first met [C] me
In a getaway [G] car
No, they'd never get [Dm] far
No,
[F] nothing good starts in a getaway [C] car
Great escape, the prison [G] break
The light of freedom on my face
But [Dm] you weren't thinking
And I [F] was just drinking
[C] While he was running after us
I was screaming, [Em] go, go, go
But with three of us, honey, it's a soul [Dm] show
And a circus ain't a love story
[F] And now we're both sorry
We're both sorry
[C] X marks the spot where we fell [G] apart
He'd put in the work, every man for [Dm] himself
I knew it from the first
Old fashioned, we were [F] cursed
It hit you like a shotgun shot [F] through the heart
[C] You were driving the getaway car
[G] We were flying, but we'd never get [Dm] far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
[F] Think about the place where you first met [C] me
Riding in a getaway car
[G] There were sirens in the beat of your [Dm] heart
You should've known I'd be the first to [F] leave
Think about the place where you first met [C] me
In a getaway car
[G] No, they'd never get far
[Dm]
[F] No, nothing good starts in a getaway [D] car
You were chasing, [A] falling in your car
[Em] Until I switched to the other [G] side
To the other side
[D] It's no surprise [A] I turned you in
[Em] Cause us traitors [G] never [Gm] win
[D] I'm in a getaway [A] car
I left you in my motel bar
[Em] Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
[G] That was the last time you ever saw [D] me
Driving the getaway car
We [A] were flying, but we'd never get far
Don't [Em] pretend it's such a mystery
[G] Think about the place where you first met [D] me
Riding in a getaway car
There [A] were sirens in the beat of your heart
[Em] You should've known I'd be the first to leave
[G] Think about the place where you first met [D] me
In a getaway car
[A] No, they'd never get far
[Em] No, [G] nothing good starts in a getaway car
[D] In a getaway car I [A] was crying
In a getaway car I [Em] was dying
In a getaway car I said [G] goodbye
In a getaway car [D] I was running
In a getaway car I [A] was crying
In a getaway car I [Em] was dying
In a getaway car I said [G] goodbye
In a getaway [D] car
