G#maj7 D#You got a fast car.
Cm A#I want a ticket to anywhere.
G#maj7 D#Maybe we make a deal,

G#maj7 D#Any place is better.
Cm A#Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
G#maj7 D#Maybe we'll make something,
Cm A#Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

G#maj7 D#You got a fast car.
Cm A#I got a plan to get us out of here:
G#maj7 D#I been working at the convenience store,
Cm A#Managed to save just a little bit of money.
G#maj7 D#Won't have to drive too far
Cm A#Just 'cross the border and into the city,
G#maj7 D#You and I can both get jobs
Cm A#And finally see what it means to be living.

G#maj7 D#You see, my old man's got a problem:
Cm A#He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
G#maj7 D#He says his body's too old for working,
Cm A#His body's too young to look like his.
G#maj7 D# Cm A#My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
G#maj7 D#I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
Cm A#So I quit school and that's what I did.
G#maj7 D# Cm
G#maj7 D#You got a fast car.
Cm A#But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
G#maj7 D#We gotta make a decision:
Cm A#Leave tonight or live and die this way.

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

G#maj7 D#You stay out drinking late at the bar,
Cm A#You see more your friends than you do your kids.
G#maj7 D#I'd always hoped for better,
Cm A#Thought maybe together you and me would find it,

Cm A#so take your fast car and keep on driving.
