Am
Hands in the air

Close up the safe
               G       D
It's time that we disappear

We'll tell your friends
we got lost

[Verse 2]
Am
Hand on my heart
        G                 D
I led a full life of crime
            Am
But I would give it all back
            G                D
For you I'd find a way, find a way
Am
Leaving behind
              G             D
Tonight we're Bonnie and Clyde
               Am
We'll take our chance on the run
               G           D
Let's make our getaway, getaway

[Bridge]
C
Now
         Am
I know a safe house
      G      D
where we can stay
           Am
We need to leave
       G        D
before it's too late

How to play Getaway: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Getaway by Saint Motel on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Getaway by Saint Motel sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 5 chords to play it: Am, G, D, C and Eb.

Listen for Am – G – D – Am (ii – I – V – ii in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – doh – soh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
