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

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

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

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

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

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