C G
You got a fast car
Em D4
I want a ticket to anywhere
C G
Maybe we make a deal
Em D4
Maybe together we can get somewhere
C G
Any place is better
Em D4
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
C G
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Em D4
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
( C G Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )
C G
You got a fast car
Em D4
I got a plan to get us outta here
C G
And work another convenience store
Em D4
Managed to save just a little bit of money
C G
Won't have to drive too far
Em D4
Just across the border and into the city
C G
You and I can both get jobs
Em D4
Finally see what it means to be livin'
( C G Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )
C G
See, my old man's got a problem
Em D4
He live in the bottle, that's the way it is
C G
He said: his body's too old for workin'
Em D4
His body's too young to look like his
C G
So mama went off and left him
Em D4
She wanted more from life than he could give
C G
I said: Somebody's gotta take care of him
Em D4
So I quit school and that's what I did
( C G Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )
C G
You got a fast car
Em D4
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
C G
You gotta make a decision
Em D4
Leave tonight or live and die this way
( C G Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )
[Refrão]
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
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 Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )
[Segunda Parte]
C G
You got a fast car
Em D4
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves
C G
Still ain't got a job
Em D4
Now work in the market as a checkout girl
C G
I know things will get better
Em D4
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
C G
And we'll move out of the shelter
Em D4
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
( C G Em D4 )
( C G Em D4 )

Em D4
Thought maybe together
You and me would find it
