Artist: Taylor Swift
Song: Getaway Car
Album: Reputation
Key: C major/D major
BPM: 86
Dead simple song, every chord is played for one bar. It's the same progression all the way through
even when the key changes in the bridge; which is up a whole tone (C major to D major) but still all
easily playable without a capo.

Intro
N.C.
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 1
[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
Pre-Chorus
[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 shotgun shot 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
Verse 2
[C]
It was the great escape, the prison break
[G]
The light of freedom on my face
[Dm]
But you weren't thinkin'
[F]
And I was just drinkin'
[C] [G]
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
[Dm]
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
[F]
And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
Pre-Chorus
[C]
X marks the spot where we fell apart
[G]
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
[Dm]
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
[F]
It hit you like a shotgun, shot to the heart
(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
Bridge
[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]
Drivin' the getaway car
[A] [Em]
We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)
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] [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
Outro
[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
