          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
