[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
