Verse:
C                           G
By all accounts, she almost drowned
                           F
When she was six in frigid water
                      C
And I can confirm she made
                         G
A curious child, ever reviled
                           F
By everyone except her own father
                        C
With a quite bewitching face
                               G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
                              F
Excellent fun till you get to know her
                          C
Then she runs like itʼs a race
                                G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
                           F
And they nicknamed her The Bolter

Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then heʼll call her a whore
G
Wish he wouldnʼt be sore
               F
But as she was leaving
F
It felt like breathing
G               Am
All her fuckinʼ lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                 Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive

Verse:
C                        G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
                          F
Just like any good trophy hunter
                         C
And she liked the way it tastes
                          G
Taming a bear, making him care
                                   F
Watching him jump then pulling him under
                            C
And at first blush, this is fate
                              G
When itʼs all roses, portrait poses
                          F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
                     C
What a charming Saturday
                                  G
Thatʼs when she sees the littlest leaks
G
Down in the floorboards
          F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt

Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then heʼll call her a whore
G
Wish he wouldnʼt be sore
               F
But as she was leaving
F
It felt like breathing
G               Am
All her fuckinʼ lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                 Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive

Bridge:
G
Sheʼs been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
              G
First theyʼre off to the races
          Am
And sheʼs laughing drawinʼ aces
     G
But, none of it is changinʼ
         Am
That the chariot is waitinʼ
           G
Hearts are hers for the breakinʼ
        Am
Thereʼs escape in escaping

Chorus:
C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                   F
But it always ends with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one eveninʼ
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                       G
But sheʼs got the best stories
G
You can be sure
                F
That as she was leaving
F
It felt like freedom
G               Am
All her fuckinʼ lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
F
And she realized
G                 Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive
