G D
by all accounts, she almost drowned
C
when she was six in frigid water..
G
and i can confirm she made..
D
a curious child, ever reviled
C
by everyone except her own father..
G
with a quite bewitching face..
D
splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
C
excellent fun till you get to know her
G
then she runs like it's a race..
D
behind her back, her best mates laughed
C
and they nicknamed her the bolter..
Chorus
G
started with a kiss
D
"oh, we must stop meeting like this"
but it always ends up
C
with a town car speeding..
C
out the drive one evening..
G
ended with the slam of a door
D
then he'll call her a whore
wish he wouldn't be sore
C
but as she was leaving..
C
it felt like breathing..
D Em
all her fuckin' lives
C
flashed before her eyes..
D Em
it feels like the time
C
she fell through the ice..
(G)
then came out alive
G D
he was a cad, wanted her bad
C
just like any good trophy hunter
G
and she liked the way it tastes..
D
taming a bear, making him care
C
watching him jump then pulling him under
G
and at first blush, this is fate..
D
when it's all roses, portrait poses
C
central park lake in tiny rowboats
G
what a charming saturday..
D
that's when she sees the littlest leaks
C
down in the floorboards and she just knows..
she must bolt..
Chorus
G
started with a kiss
D
"oh, we must stop meeting like this"
but it always ends up
C
with a town car speeding..
C
out the drive one evening..
G
ended with the slam of a door
D
then he'll call her a whore
wish he wouldn't be sore
C
but as she was leaving..
C
it felt like breathing..
D Em
all her fuckin' lives
C
flashed before her eyes.. (ah ah aaah)
D Em
it feels like the time
C
she fell through the ice..
then came out alive
D
she's been many places
Em
with men of many faces
G
first they're off to the races
G
and she's laughing drawin' aces
D
but, none of it is changin'
Em
that the chariot is waitin'
G
hearts are hers for the breakin'
there's escape in escaping..
Chorus
G
started with a kiss
D
"oh, we must stop meeting like this"
but it always ends up
C
with a town car speeding..
C
out the drive one evening..
G
ended with the slam of a door
D
but she's got the best stories
C
you can be sure that as she was leaving..
C
it felt like freedom..
D Em
all her fuckin' lives..
C
flashed before her eyes..
(and she realized)
D Em
it feels like the time
C
she fell through the ice..
then came out alive..
