[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
GA 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
Fmaj7G 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
Fmaj7G 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
Fmaj7G Flashed before her eyes (And she realized)
Am It feels like the time
Fmaj7 She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
