C G
You got a fast car
Em D
And I want a ticket to anywhere
C G
Maybe we make a deal
Em D
Maybe together we can get somewhere
C G
Any place is better
Em D
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
C G
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Em D
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
C G
You got a fast car
Em D
And I got a plan to get us outta here
C G
I've been workin' at the convenience store
Em D
Managed to save just a little bit of money
C G
Won't have to drive too far
Em D
Just across the border and into the city
C G
And you and I can both get jobs
Em D
Finally see what it means to be livin'
C G
See, my old man's got a problem
Em D
He live in the bottle, that's the way it is
C G
He said his body's too old for workin'
Em D
His body's too young to look like his
C G
So mama went off and left him
Em D
She wanted more from life than he could give
C G
I said: Somebody's gotta take care of him
Em D
So I quit school and that's what I did
C G
You got a fast car
Em D
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
C G
Still gotta make a decision
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way
D C
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
G
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
D
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
C Em D
And I had a feelin' that I belonged
C Em D
I had a feelin' I could be someone
C D
Be someone, be someone
C G
You got a fast car
Em D
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves
C G
You still ain't got a job
Em D
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
C G
I know things will get better
Em D
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
C G
And we'll move out of the shelter
Em D
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
D C
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
G
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
D
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
C Em D
And I had a feelin' that I belonged
C Em D
I had a feelin' I could be someone
C D
Be someone, be someone
C G
You got a fast car
Em D
I got a job that pays all our bills
C G
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
Em D
See more of your friends than you do your kids
C G
I'd always hoped for better
Em D
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
C G
I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
Em D
Take your fast car and keep on drivin'
D C
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
G
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
D
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
C Em D
And I had a feelin' that I belonged
C Em D
I had a feelin' I could be someone
C D
Be someone, be someone
C G
You got a fast car
Em D
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
C G
Still gotta make a decision
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way
