The Bolter

C  G  F
               C
We were in the backseat
                   G                               Am  F
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
          C
"I rent a place on Cornelia €…Street"
G                     Am   F
I say casually in the car
          C
We were a fresh page on the desk
G                           Am  F
Filling in the blanks as we go
          C                           G
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head
           Am   F
Leading us home
                   C                       G
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
               Am              F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
                 C                           G
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
               Am              F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
          C          G                Am                     F
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
          C           G              Am
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
F                               C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
    G                           Am   F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

                              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"

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
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
( Cornelia street X the bolter)
C        G
I hope I never lose you
                   Am            F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C   G        Am    F
  Oh, never again
          C           G               Am                     F
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
          C            G             Am             F
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
    F                          C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
    G                           Am   F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

                                      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
( Cornelia street X the bolter)
              C
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
               F
But as she was leaving, it felt like freedom
              C
I don't wanna lose you, hope it never ends
                F
But as she was leaving, it felt like freedom
