F#maj7 C#You got a fast car.
A#m G#I want a ticket to anywhere.
F#maj7 C#Maybe we make a deal,
A#m G#Maybe together we can get somewhere.
F#maj7 C#Any place is better.
A#m G#Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
F#maj7 C#Maybe we'll make something,
A#m G#Me myself, I got nothing to prove.
F#maj7 C# A#m
F#maj7 C#You got a fast car.
A#m G#I got a plan to get us out of here:
F#maj7 C#I been working at the convenience store,
A#m G#Managed to save just a little bit of money.
F#maj7 C#Won't have to drive too far
A#m G#Just 'cross the border and into the city,
F#maj7 C#You and I can both get jobs
A#m G#And finally see what it means to be living.
F#maj7 C# A#m
F#maj7 C#You see, my old man's got a problem:
A#m G#He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
F#maj7 C#He says his body's too old for working,
A#m G#His body's too young to look like his.
F#maj7 C# A#m G#My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
F#maj7 C#I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
A#m G#So I quit school and that's what I did.
F#maj7 C# A#m
F#maj7 C#You got a fast car.
A#m G#But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
F#maj7 C#We gotta make a decision:
A#m G#Leave tonight or live and die this way.

A#m F# A#m F# So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
A#m F#The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
A#m F#City lights lay out before us
A#m F#And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
F# A#m G#And I had a feeling that I belonged
F# A#m G# A#m F# A#mAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
F#maj7 C# A#m
F#maj7 C#You got a fast car.
A#m G#And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
F#maj7 C#you still ain't got a job
A#m G#And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
F#maj7 C#I know things will get better:
A#m G#You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
F#maj7 C#We'll move out of the shelter
A#m G#Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

F#maj7 C#You got a fast car.
A#m G#And I got a job that pays all our bills.
F#maj7 C#You stay out drinking late at the bar,
A#m G#You see more your friends than you do your kids.
F#maj7 C#I'd always hoped for better,
A#m G#Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
F#maj7 C#I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
A#m G#so take your fast car and keep on driving.
