[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
Fmaj7
When she was six in frigid water
C
And I can confirm she made
G
A curious child, ever reviled
Fmaj7
By everyone except her own father
C
With a quite bewitching face
G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
Fmaj7
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
C
Then she runs like it's a race
G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
Fmaj7
And they nicknamed her ""The Bolter""
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss
G
Oh, we must stop meeting like this
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
But as she was leaving
G
It felt like breathing
[Post-Chorus]
Am
All her fuckin' lives
Fmaj7 G
Flashed before her eyes
Am
It feels like the time
Fmaj7
She fell through the ice
C
Then came out alive
[Verse 2]
G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
Fmaj7
Just like any good trophy hunter
C
And she liked the way it tastes
G
Taming a bear, making him care
Fmaj7
Watching him jump then pulling him under
C
And at first blush, this is fate
G
When it's all roses, portrait poses
Fmaj7
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
C
What a charming Saturday
G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards
Fmaj7
And she just knows she must bolt
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss
G
Oh, we must stop meeting like this
Fmaj7
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
Fmaj7
But as she was leaving
G
It felt like breathing
[Post-Chorus]
Am
All her fuckin' lives
Fmaj7 G
Flashed before her eyes (Ah-ah-ah)
Am
It feels like the time
Fmaj7
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
[Bridge]
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'
N.C.
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss
G
Oh, we must stop meeting like this
Fmaj7
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
G
But she's got the best stories, you can be sure
Fmaj7
That as she was leaving
G
It felt like freedom
[Post-Chorus]
Am
All her fuckin' lives
Fmaj7 G
Flashed before her eyes (And she realized)
Am
It feels like the time
Fmaj7
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
