Introduction:
C
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
G
I struck a match and blew your mind

And you didn' t see it
C
The ties were black, the lies were white
G
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
G
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!)
C
You were drivin' the getaway car
G Dm
We were flyin' , but we never get far
Don' t pretend it' s such a mystery

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

Think about the place where you first met me
G
In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh
Dm

It was the great escape, the prison break

The light of freedom on my face
Dm
But you weren' t thinkin'

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

It hit you like a shotgun, shot to the heart
(Oh!)
