Lyrics

(CN.C.)(No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car.) It was the best of times, the worst of crimes; I (G)struck a match and blew your mind. But I did n’t mean it, and you did n’t see it. The (C5)ties were black, the lies were white, in (G)shades of gray and can dle light. I want ed to leave him; I need ed a rea son. ‘X’ marks the spot where we fell a part. He poi soned the well; I was ly ing to my self. I knew it from the first Old Fash ioned we were cursed: we (F)nev er had a shot gun shot in the dark. You were driv ing a get a way car. We were fly ing, but we’d nev er get far. Don’t pre tend it’s such a mys ter y; think a bout the place where you first met me: rid ing in a get a way car. There were si rens in the beat of your heart. Should ’ve known I’d be the first to leave; think a bout the place where you first met me: in a get a way car. (Ah.) No, they nev er get far. (Ah.) No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car. It was the great es cape, the pris on break; the (G)light of free dom on my face. But you were n’t think ing, and I was just drink ing. Well, (C5)he was run ning af ter us; I was scream ing, “Go, go, (G)go!” But with three of us, hon ey, it’s a side show. And the cir cus ain’t a love sto ry; and now we’re (F)both sor ry. (We’re both sor ry.) ‘X’ get a way car. We were jet set (A)Bon nie and Clyde, (Oh.) un til I switched to the oth er side, to the oth er si i i i ide. It’s no sur prise I (A)turned you in, (Oh.) ’cause trai tors (Gm)nev er win. I’m in a get a way car. I left you in the mo tel bar. I put the (Em)mon ey in a bag and I stole the keys. That was the last time you ev er saw me: driv ing the get a way car. We were fly ing, but we’d nev er get far. (Don’t pre tend.) Don’t pre tend it’s such a mys ter y; think a bout the place where you first met me: rid ing in a get a way car. There were si rens in the beat of your heart. (Should have known.) Should have known I’d be the first to leave; think a bout the place where you first met me: in a get a way car. (Ah.) No, they nev er get far. (Ah.) No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car. I was rid ing in a get a way car. I was cry ing in a get a way car. I was dy ing in a get a way car, said “good (G)bye” in a get a way car. Rid ing in a get a way car. I was cry ing in a get a way car. I was dy ing in a get a way car, said “good (G)bye” in a get a way car.
