Intro CVerse 1:
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 'til you get to know her C Then she runs like it's a race G Behind her back, her best mates laughed F And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"C Started with a kiss G "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" F But it always ends up with a town car speeding Out the drive one evening C Ended with the slam of a door G Then he'll call her a whore Wish he wouldn't be sore F But as she was leaving It felt like breathing G Am All her fuckin' lives F Flashed before her eyes G Am It feels like the time F She fell through the ice C Then came out aliveVerse 2:
G He was a cad, wanted her bad F Just like any good trophy hunter C And she liked the way he 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 it's all roses, portrait poses F Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats C What a charming Saturday G That's when she sees the littlest leaks Down in the floorboards F And she just knows She must boltC Started with a kiss G "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" F But it always ends up with a town car speeding Out the drive one evening C Ended with the slam of a door G Then he'll call her a whore Wish he wouldn't be sore F But as she was leaving It felt like breathing G Am All her fuckin' lives F Flashed before her eyes G Am It feels like the time F She fell through the ice C Then came out aliveBridge:
G She's been many places with Am Men of many faces C First, they're off to the races And she's laughing drawin' aces G But, none of it is changin' Am That the chariot is waitin' C Hearts are hers for the breakin' There's an escape in escapingC Started with a kiss G "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" F But it always ends up with a town car speeding Out the drive one evenin' C Ended with the slam of a door G But she's got the best stories You can be sure F That as she was leaving It felt like freedom G Am All her fuckin' lives F Flashed before her eyes G And she realized Am It feels like the time F She fell through the ice Then came out alive
