[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x4
[Cmaj7] You got a fast [G] car.
[Em] I want a ticket to [D] anywhere.
[Cmaj7] Maybe we make a [G] deal,
[Em] Maybe together we can [D] get somewhere.
[Cmaj7] Any place is [G] better.
[Em] Starting from zero, got [D] nothing to lose.
[Cmaj7] Maybe we'll make [G] something,
[Em] Me myself, I got [D] nothing to prove.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
[Cmaj7] You got a fast [G] car.
[Em] I got a plan to [D] get us out of here:
[Cmaj7] I been working at the [G] convenience store,
[Em] Managed to save just a [D] little bit of money.
[Cmaj7] Won't have to drive too [G] far
[Em] Just 'cross the border and [D] into the city,
[Cmaj7] You and I can [G] both get jobs
And [Em] finally see what it [D] means to be living.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
You see, [Cmaj7] my old man's got a [G] problem:
He [Em] live with the bottle, that’s the [D] way it is.
He [Cmaj7] says his body's too old for [G] working,
His [Em] body's too young to [D] look like his.
My [Cmaj7] mama went off and [G] left him,
she [Em] wanted more from life than [D] he could give,
I said, "[Cmaj7] Somebody's got to take [G] care of him."
So [Em] I quit school and that's [D] what I did.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
[Cmaj7] You got a fast [G] car.
But is it [Em] fast enough so we can [D] fly away?
[Cmaj7] We gotta make a de-[G]cision:
[Em] Leave tonight or live and [D] die this way.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
So I remember when: we were [C] driving, driving [G] in your car,
The [C] speed so fast I felt like [G] I was drunk,
[Em] City lights lay [C] out before us
And your [Em] arm felt nice wrapped [D] 'round my shoulder.
And [C] I [Em] had a [D] feeling that I belonged
And [C] I [Em] had a [D] feeling I could
[Em] be someone, [C] be someone, [Em] be someone.

[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
[Cmaj7] You got a fast [G] car.
And [Em] we go cruising to enter-[D]tain ourselves;
[Cmaj7] you still ain't got a [G] job
And I [Em] work in a market as a [D] checkout girl.
[Cmaj7] I know things will get [G] better:
[Em] You'll find work and [D] I'll get promoted,
[Cmaj7] We'll move out of the [G] shelter
[Em] Buy a bigger house and [D] live in the suburbs.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2

And your [Em] arm felt nice wrapped [D] 'round my shoulder.
And [C] I [Em] had a [D] feeling that I belonged
And [C] I [Em] had a [D] feeling I could
[Em] be someone, [C] be someone, [Em] be someone.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
[Cmaj7] You got a fast [G] car.
And [Em] I got a job that [D] pays all our bills.
[Cmaj7] You stay out drinking [G] late at the bar,
You see [Em] more your friends than you [D] do your kids.
[Cmaj7] I'd always hoped for [G] better,
[Em] Thought maybe together [D] you and me would find it,
[Cmaj7] I got no plans I ain't [G] going nowhere,
so [Em] take your fast car and [D] keep on driving.
[Cmaj7] [G] [Em] [D] x2
