[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast car.
F#m Eadd4
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Dmaj7 A
Maybe we make a deal,
F#m Eadd4
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Dmaj7 A
Any place is better.
F#m Eadd4
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Dmaj7 A
Maybe we'll make something,
F#m Eadd4
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast car.
F#m Eadd4
I got a plan to get us out of here:
Dmaj7 A
I been working at the convenience store,
F#m Eadd4
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Dmaj7 A
Won't have to drive too far
F#m Eadd4
Just 'cross the border and into the city,
Dmaj7 A
You and I can both get jobs
F#m Eadd4
And finally see what it means to be living.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 A
You see, my old man's got a problem:
F#m Eadd4
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is.
Dmaj7 A
He says his body's too old for working,
F#m Eadd4
His body's too young to look like his.
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Dmaj7 A
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
F#m Eadd4
So I quit school and that's what I did.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast car.
F#m Eadd4
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Dmaj7 A
We gotta make a decision:
F#m Eadd4
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4
[Chorus]
D
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
A
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
F#m
City lights lay out before us
Eadd4
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
D F#m Eadd4
And I had a feeling that I belonged
D F#m Eadd4 D E
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4

[Verse 5]
Dmaj7 D
You got a fast car.
F#m Eadd4
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Dmaj7 A
you still ain't got a job
F#m Eadd4
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Dmaj7 A
I know things will get better:
F#m Eadd4
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Dmaj7 A
We'll move out of the shelter
F#m Eadd4
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd4

You got a fast car
F#m Eadd4
And i got a job that pays all our bills.
Dmaj7 A
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
F#m Eadd4
See more your friends than you do your kids.
Dmaj7 A
I'd always hoped for better,
F#m Eadd4
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
Dmaj7 A
I got no plans i ain't going nowhere,
F#m Eadd4
so take your fast car and kep on driving.
