The Bolter

[Intro] C

[Primeira Parte]

                                  G
 By all accounts, she almost drowned
                           F
When she was six in frigid water
                      C
And I can confirm she made
                        G
A curious child, ever reviled
                           F
By everyone except her own father
                        C
With a quite bewitching face
                               G
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
                              F
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
                          C
Then she runs like it's a race
                                G
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
                            F
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"

[Refrão]

C
Started with a kiss
                               G
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evening
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                      G
Then he'll call her a whore

Wish he wouldn't be sore
               F
But as she was leaving

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
                C
Then came out alive

                         G
He was a cad, wanted her bad
                          F
Just like any good trophy hunter
                         C
And she liked the way he tastes
                          G
Taming a bear, making him care
                                   F
Watching him jump then pulling him under
                            C
And at first blush, this is fate
                              G
When it's all roses, portrait poses
                          F
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
                       C
What a charming Saturday
                                  G
That's when she sees the littlest leaks

Down in the floorboards
        F
And she just knows

She must bolt

                               G

G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
G                  Am
 It feels like the time
                     F

                C
Then came out alive

[Ponte]

G
She's been many places with
Am
Men of many faces
               C
First, they're off to the races

And she's laughing drawin' aces
     G
But, none of it is changin'
         Am
That the chariot is waitin'
           C
Hearts are hers for the breakin'

There's an escape in escaping

[Refrão]

                                      F
But it always ends up with a town car speeding

Out the drive one evenin'
C
Ended with the slam of a door
                       G
But she's got the best stories

You can be sure
                F
That as she was leaving

It felt like freedom
G                Am
 All her fuckin' lives
                   F
Flashed before her eyes
            G
And she realized
                  Am
It feels like the time
                     F
She fell through the ice

Then came out alive
