Getaway Car sing and play along

(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.)

It was the best of times,

the worst of crimes;

I struck a match and blew your mind.

But I didn't mean it,

and you didn't see it.

The ties were black, the lies were white,

in shades of gray and candlelight.

I wanted to leave him;

I needed a reason.

'X' marks the spot where we fell apart.

He poisoned the well;

I was lying to myself.

I knew it from the first Old Fashioned we were cursed:

we never had a shotgun shot in the dark.

You were driving a getaway car.

We were flying, but we'd never get far.

Don't pretend it's such a mystery;

think about the place where you first met me:

riding in a getaway car.

There were sirens in the beat of your heart.

Should've known I'd be the first to leave;

think about the place where you first met me:

in a getaway car.

(Ah.) No, they never get far.

(Ah.)

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

It was the great escape, the prison break;

the light of freedom on my face.

But you weren't thinking,

and I was just drinking.

Well, he was running after us;

I was screaming, "Go, go, go!"

But with three of us, honey,

it's a sideshow.

And the circus ain't a love story;

and now we're both sorry.

(We're both sorry.)

'X' getaway car.

We were jet set

Bonnie and Clyde, (Oh.)

until I switched to the other side,

to the other siiiiide.

It's no surprise I turned you in,

(Oh.) 'cause traitors never win.

I'm in a getaway car.

I left you in the motel bar.

I put the money in a bag and I stole the keys.

That was the last time you ever saw me:

driving the getaway car.

We were flying, but we'd never get far.

(Don't pretend.)

Don't pre tend it's such a mystery;

think about the place where you first met me:

riding in a getaway car.

There were sirens in the beat of your heart.

(Should have known.)

Should have known I'd be the first to leave;

think about the place where you first met me:

in a getaway car.

(Ah.) No, they never get far.

(Ah.)

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

I was riding in a getaway car.

I was crying in a getaway car.

I was dying in a getaway car,

said "goodbye" in a getaway car.

Riding in a getaway car.

I was crying in a getaway car.

I was dying in a getaway car,

said "goodbye" in a getaway

car.
