Gmaj7 DYou got a fast car.

Bm AI want a ticket to anywhere.

Gmaj7 DMaybe we make a deal,

Bm AMaybe together we can get somewhere.

Gmaj7 DAny place is better.

Bm AStarting from zero, got nothing to lose.

Gmaj7 DMaybe we'll make something,

Bm AMe myself, I got nothing to prove.

Gmaj7 D Bm

Gmaj7 DYou got a fast car.

Bm AI got a plan to get us out of here:

Gmaj7 DI been working at the convenience store,

Bm AManaged to save just a little bit of money.

Gmaj7 DWon't have to drive too far

Bm AJust 'cross the border and into the city,

Gmaj7 DYou and I can both get jobs

Bm AAnd finally see what it means to be living.

Gmaj7 D Bm

Gmaj7 DYou see, my old man's got a problem:

Bm AHe live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.

Gmaj7 DHe says his body's too old for working,

Bm AHis body's too young to look like his.

Gmaj7 D Bm AMy mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,

Gmaj7 DI said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."

Bm ASo I quit school and that's what I did.

Gmaj7 D Bm

Gmaj7 DYou got a fast car.

Bm ABut is it fast enough so we can fly away?

Gmaj7 DWe gotta make a decision:

Bm ALeave tonight or live and die this way.

Gmaj7 D Bm A

Gmaj7 D Bm

Bm G Bm G So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,

Bm GThe speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,

Bm GCity lights lay out before us

Bm GAnd your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.

G Bm AAnd I had a feeling that I belonged

G Bm A Bm G BmAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

Gmaj7 D Bm

Gmaj7 DYou got a fast car.

Bm AAnd we go cruising to entertain ourselves;

Gmaj7 Dyou still ain't got a job

Bm AAnd I work in a market as a checkout girl.

Gmaj7 DI know things will get better:

Bm AYou'll find work and I'll get promoted,

Gmaj7 DWe'll move out of the shelter

Bm ABuy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

G Bm A Bm G BmAnd I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

Gmaj7 D Bm

Gmaj7 DYou got a fast car.

Bm AAnd I got a job that pays all our bills.

Gmaj7 DYou stay out drinking late at the bar,

Bm AYou see more your friends than you do your kids.

Gmaj7 DI'd always hoped for better,

Bm AThought maybe together you and me would find it,

Gmaj7 DI got no plans I ain't going nowhere,

Bm Aso take your fast car and keep on driving.
