C
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes

I struck a match and blew your mind

In shades of gray in candlelight
Dm
I wanted to leave him
F
I needed a reason
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart

He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
(Oh!)

You were drivin' the getaway car

Think about the place where you first met me
C
Ridin' in a getaway car
G
Dm
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave

It was the great escape, the prison break
G
The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you weren't thinkin'
F
And I was just drinkin'
C
G
Well, he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
Dm
But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow
And a circus ain't a love story
F
And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
C
X marks the spot where we fell apart
G
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
Dm
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
F
It hit you like a shotgun, shot to the heart
(Oh!)
C
You were drivin' the getaway car

We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh)

Until I switched to the other side
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
D
A
Em
It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh)
Gm
'Cause us traitors never win
D
I'm in a getaway car

Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys

That was the last time you ever saw me
(Oh!)
