Getaway
The Milk Carton Kids


Capo 6th


G                                                                                                           C
The shatter of the bottles would scare me somethin' awful as a kid
      G                                                                                               C
My fear, how it would harden and find home in places that I hid


CHORUS:

                     Am           
I'd tear 'em down
                D
I'd run away
            Am
Never found
      Cmaj7
My getaway

G                                                                                                    C
Outside Tuscaloosa, the time you thought you'd turn it all around
  G                                                                                                                C
Remember how you used to think, you could salvage anything you found


CHORUS
                    Am
you knew it then
                      D
you know it now
           Am
rattle chains
      Cmaj7
still rattles loud


BRIDGE:
C
and all those years of movin'
Am                 D     G
I was slowly losin' all my name
C                           Am               D                           Cmaj7
no matter what I ruined it couldn't hold a candle to the pain

Ooo Ooo


CHORUS:
My tears are real
and all my own
pourin' down
their awful low

The soft roll of the water reminds me of my father's parting words
Son now don't you bother lookin' for your place out in the world


CHORUS:
the tidal roll
through the waves
son you'll find
your getaway
