C It was the best of times, the worst of crimes G I struck a match and blew your mind Dm But I didn't mean it F And you didn't see it C The ties were black, the lies were white G In shades of gray in candlelight Dm I wanted to leave him F I needed a reason C "X" marks the spot where we fell apart G He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself Dm I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed F We never had a shot, gunshot in the dark (Oh!) Chorus: C You were drivin' the getaway car G Dm We were flyin', but we never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery F Think about the place where you first met me C Ridin' in a getaway car G Dm There were sirens in the beat of your heart I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave F C Think about the place where you first met me G In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh Dm No, they never get far, oh-oh-ahh F No, nothing good starts in a getaway car It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinkin’ And I was just drinkin’ While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin’, "Go, go, go!" But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story And now we're both sorry (We’re both sorry) "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, every man for himself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart (Oh!) Chorus 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) Gm '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 (Oh!) Chorus 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 D Said goodbye in a getaway car You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  Dm  Em  F  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
