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  A  Em  G ) 

    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 

Final 

      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
