[Verse 1]
C
By all accounts,
G
she almost drowned
When she was six in
F
frigid water
C
And I can confirm she made
A curious child,
G
ever reviled
By everyone except
F
her own father
C
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish
G
, charmingly helpless

Excellent fun till
F
you get to know her
Then she runs like
C
it's a race
Behind her back,
G
her best mates laughed
And they nicknamed
F
her The Bolter

[Chorus] C Started with a kiss "Oh, we must stop meeting G like this" But it always ends up F with a town car speeding F Out the drive one evening C Ended with the slam of a door G Then he'll call her a whore G Wish he wouldn't be sore F But as she was leaving F 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 F Then came out alive [Verse 2] C G He was a cad, wanted her bad Just like any good F trophy hunter And she liked the C way it tastes Taming a bear, G making him care Watching him jump then F pulling him under And at first blush, C this is fate When it's all roses, G portrait poses Central Park Lake F in tiny rowboats C What a charming Saturday

That's when she sees
G
the littlest leaks
G
Down in the floorboards
F
And she just knows
F
She must bolt
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop
G
meeting like this"
But it always ends up
F
with a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam
of a door
G
Then he'll call her a whore
G
Wish he wouldn't be sore
F
But as she was leaving
F
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
F
Then came out alive
[Bridge]
G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
G
First they're off to the races
Am
And she's laughing drawin' aces
G
But, none of it is changin'
Am
That the chariot is waitin'
G
Hearts are hers for
the breakin'
Am
There's escape in escaping
[Chorus]
C
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop
G
meeting like this"
But it always ends with
F
a town car speeding
F
Out the drive one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
G
But she's got the best stories
G
You can be sure
F
That as she was leaving
F
It felt like freedom
G Am
All her fuckin' lives
F
Flashed before her eyes
F
And she realized
G Am
It feels like the time
F
She fell through the ice
F
Then came out alive
