Getaway Car - August - The Other Side Of The Door

Verse
D*
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
D
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
  A
I struck a match and blew your mind
            Em                       G
But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it
D
The ties were black, the lies were white
   A
In shades of gray in candlelight
            Em                    G
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason

Pre-chorus
D
X marks the spot where we fell apart
A
He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself
   Em
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
   G                   N.C.
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

Chorus
         D
You were driving the getaway car
        A
We were flying, but we never get far
Em                                 G
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
D                                   A
Driving the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

D  A  Em  G   x2

Verse
          D
It was the great escape, the prison break
    A
The light of freedom on my face
               Em                       G
But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin'
      D                                                  A
While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!"
A
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
Em                                            G
And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)

Pre-chorus
D
X marks the spot where we fell apart
A
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
   Em
I knew it from the first old fashioned we were cursed
   G                      N.C.
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart

Chorus
         D
You were driving the getaway car
        A
We were flying, but we never get far
Em                                 G
Don't pretend it's such a mystery, think about the place where you first met me
D                                   A
Riding in the getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

D  A  Em  G   x2

Chorus
D
I can see us lost in the memory
A                                    Em                        G
August slipped away into a moment in time, 'cause it was never mine
D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
A                                   Em                        G
August sipped away like a bottle of wine, 'cause it was never mine

Bridge
D                A
We were jet set, Bonnie and Clyde
Em                             G
'Til I switched to other side, to the other side
D                  D
It's no surprise I turned you in, oh
Em                 G
'Cause us traitors never win
D                     A
I'm in a getaway car, I left you in the motel bar
        Em                                     G*
Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys, that was the last time you ever saw me

Chorus
D                                    A
Driving in a getaway car, there were sirens in the beat of your heart
Em                                         G
Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place where you first met me
D                 A                          Em
In a getaway car, oh, no they never get far, oh
    G
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

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

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