C#maj7 G#You got a fast car.

Fm D#I want a ticket to anywhere.

C#maj7 G#Maybe we make a deal,

Fm D#Maybe together we can get somewhere.

C#maj7 G#Any place is better.

Fm D#Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.

C#maj7 G#Maybe we'll make something,

Fm D#Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

C#maj7 G#You got a fast car.

Fm D#I got a plan to get us out of here:

C#maj7 G#I been working at the convenience store,

Fm D#Managed to save just a little bit of money.

C#maj7 G#Won't have to drive too far

Fm D#Just 'cross the border and into the city,

C#maj7 G#You and I can both get jobs

Fm D#And finally see what it means to be living.

C#maj7 G#You see, my old man's got a problem:

Fm D#He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.

C#maj7 G#He says his body's too old for working,

Fm D#His body's too young to look like his.

C#maj7 G# Fm D#My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,

C#maj7 G#I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."

Fm D#So I quit school and that's what I did.

C#maj7 G# Fm

C#maj7 G#You got a fast car.

Fm D#But is it fast enough so we can fly away?

C#maj7 G#We gotta make a decision:

Fm D#Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Fm C# Fm C# So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,

Fm C#The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,

Fm C#City lights lay out before us

Fm C#And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.

C# Fm D#And I had a feeling that I belonged

C# Fm D# Fm C# FmAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

C#maj7 G# Fm

C#maj7 G#You got a fast car.

Fm D#And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;

C#maj7 G#you still ain't got a job

Fm D#And I work in a market as a checkout girl.

C#maj7 G#I know things will get better:

Fm D#You'll find work and I'll get promoted,

C#maj7 G#We'll move out of the shelter

Fm D#Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

C#maj7 G#You stay out drinking late at the bar,

Fm D#You see more your friends than you do your kids.

C#maj7 G#I'd always hoped for better,

Fm D#Thought maybe together you and me would find it,

C#maj7 G#I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,

Fm D#so take your fast car and keep on driving.
