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#A#m
All her fuckinʼ lives
F#
Flashed before her eyes
G#A#m
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#A#m
All her fuckinʼ lives
F#
Flashed before her eyes
G#A#m
It feels like the time
F#
She fell through the ice
F#
Then came out alive
Bridge:
G#
Sheʼs been many places with
A#m
Men of many faces
G#
First theyʼre off to the races
A#m
And sheʼs laughing drawinʼ aces
G#
But, none of it is changinʼ
A#m
That the chariot is waitinʼ
G#
Hearts are hers for the breakinʼ
A#m
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#A#m
All her fuckinʼ lives
F#
Flashed before her eyes
F#
And she realized
G#A#m
It feels like the time
F#
She fell through the ice
F#
Then came out alive
