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.
There's escape in escaping
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
