D* Uhuhuh A* Uhuhuh G*Uh uh, uh uh [Verse 1] D Stand there like a Aghost Shaking from the Grain, rain D She'll open up the Adoor and say are you inGsane-ane D Say it's been a Along, six Gmonths D And you were too aAfraid to tell her what you Gwant, want
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's how it Dworks A That's how you get the Ggirl
And then you say: [Chorus]
DI want you for Aworse or for better GI would wait forever and ever DBroke your heart, I'll Aput it back together GI would wait forever and ever DAnd that's how it wAorks, it's How you get the Ggirl, girl, ohohoDh And that's how it Aworks, it's How you get the Ggirl, girl
Am 'Cause baby, CI could build a castleG Out of Dall the bricks they threw at meAm And every dCay is like a battleG But every Dnight with us is like a dream AmBaby, we're the new romantics C Come on, come along with meG Heartbreak is the national anthemD We sing it proudlyAm We are too busy dancingC To get knocked off our feetG Baby, we're the new romanticsD The best people in lifeAm* are free
[Verse 2]
C Whеn you lost control (Uh-Ghuh) Red blood, white snow (Uh-Amhuh) Blue dress on a boat (Uh-Emhuh)
Your new girl is my clone [Bridge]
And did you Cthink I didn't see you? There were Cflashin' lights At Cleast I had the decency To keep my nights out of sGight Only rumors 'bout my Ghips and thighs And my Gwhispered sighs Oh, GLord, I think about AmJumpin' off of very tall somethings Just to see you come Emrunning And say the one thing I've been wanting, but Cno
[Pre-Chorus]
C Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later (Oh) G If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (Oh) Am You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor (Oh) Em You search in every model's bed for somethin' greater, baby
[Chorus]
CWas it over when she laid down on your couch? GWas it over when he unbuttoned my blouse? Am"Come here," I whispered in your ear In your Amdream as you passеd out, baby EmWas it over then? And is it over now?C G Am Em
[Verse]
CRemember when you hit the brakes too soon 20 stitches in the hospital Groom GWhen you started crying baby I did too When the sun came up I was looking at Amyou AmRemember when we couldn't take the heat I walked out saying I'm setting you Emfree EmBut the monsters turned out to be just trees When the sun came up you were looking at Cme
[Chorus]
You were looking at Gme, oh You were looking at Amme I reEmmember EmOh I remember
[Bridge]
D We were jet-set, ABonnie and Clyde (oh-Emoh) Until I switched to the other Gside
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
D It's no surprise I Aturned you in (oh-Emoh) 'Cause us traitors Gnever win D I'm in a getaway car A I left you in a motel bar Put the Emmoney in a bag and I stole the keys GThat was the last time you ever saw me
[Chorus]
DrDivin' the getaway car We were Aflyin', but we never get far (don't preEmtend)
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
GThink about the place where you first met me DRidin' in a getaway car There were sAirens in the beat of your heart (should've Emknown)
I shoulda' known I'd be the first to leave
GThink about the place where you first met mDe In a getaway car, oh-oh-Aoh No, they never get far, oh-oh-Emahh No, Gnothing good starts in a getaway car
[Outro]
I was Dridin' in a getaway car I was Acryin' in a getaway car I was Emdyin' in a getaway car Said Ggoodbye in a getaway car DRidin' in a getaway car I was Acryin' in a getaway car I was Emdyin' in a getaway car Said Ggoodbye in a getaway Dcar
