D#maj7 A#You got a fast car.
Gm FI got a plan to get us out of here:
D#maj7 A#I been working at the convenience store,
Gm FManaged to save just a little bit of money.
D#maj7 A#Won't have to drive too far
Gm FJust 'cross the border and into the city,
D#maj7 A#You and I can both get jobs
Gm FAnd finally see what it means to be living.
D#maj7 A# Gm
D#maj7 A#You see, my old man's got a problem:
Gm FHe live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
D#maj7 A#He says his body's too old for working,
Gm FHis body's too young to look like his.
D#maj7 A# Gm FMy mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
D#maj7 A#I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
Gm FSo I quit school and that's what I did.
D#maj7 A# Gm
D#maj7 A#You got a fast car.
Gm FBut is it fast enough so we can fly away?
D#maj7 A#We gotta make a decision:
Gm FLeave tonight or live and die this way.

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