Getaway Car/august/the Other Side Of The Door

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

It was the

D
Best of times, the worst of crimes
A
I struck a match and blew your mind
             Em
But I didn't mean it
               G
And you didn't see it
     D
The ties were black, the lies were white
A
In shades of gray in candlelight
             Em
I wanted to leave him
           G
I needed a reason

D
X marks the spot where we fell apart
A
He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
  Em
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
   G
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

         D
You were drivin' the getaway car
        A
We were flyin', but we never get far
Em
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
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Em
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

    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
A                                    Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    G
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
A                                    Em
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
                       G
'Cause you were never mine

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

D
Drivin' the 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

      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
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 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
 G
I need you
