Intro: Fmaj7 F | Am Dadd11 | Fmaj7 F | Am Dad11 (X2)

VERSE 1:
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car,
Am                 Dadd11
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Fmaj7           F
Maybe we make a deal,
Am                    Dadd11
Maybe together we can  get somewhere.
Fmaj7             F
Any place is better.
Am                      Dadd11
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Fmaj7                 F
Maybe we'll make something,
Am               Dadd11
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

VERSE 2: 
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car
Am               Dadd11
And I got a plan to get us out of here
       Fmaj7              F
I been working at the convenience store
Am               Dadd11
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Fmaj7                  F
We wont have to drive too far
      Am                  Dadd11
Just cross the border and into the city
Fmaj7      F
You and I can both get jobs
    Am                  Dadd11
And finally see what it means to be living


VERSE 3:
        Fmaj7        F
You see my old man's got a problem
   Am                   Dadd11
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
            Fmaj7           F
He says his body's too old for working
     Am                 Dadd11
His body's too young to look like his
   Fmaj7             F
My mama went off and left him
     Am                        Dadd11
She wanted more from life than he could give
         Fmaj7                  F
I said, "somebody's got to take care of him"
    Am               Dadd11
So I quit school and that's what I did


VERSE 4:
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car
           Am                   Dadd11
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
Fmaj7               F
We gotta make a decision
Am                           Dadd11
We leave tonight or live and die this way


CHORUS 1:
Am   Dadd11        F
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Am
City lights lay out before us
         G
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    F  Am       G
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
    F  Am       G                           F           G
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


VERSE 5:
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car
    Am                       Dadd11
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
    Fmaj7              F
You still ain't got a job
      Am               Dadd11
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
Fmaj7                   F
I know things will get better
Am                    Dadd11
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Fmaj7                F
Well move out of the shelter
Am                  Dadd11
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs


CHORUS 2:
Am   Dadd11        F
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Am
City lights lay out before us
         G
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    F  Am       G
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
    F  Am       G                           F           G
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


VERSE 6:
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car
    Am               Dadd11
And I got a job that pays all our bills
    Fmaj7             F
You stay out drinking late at the bar
    Am                            Dadd11
See more of your friends than you  do of your kids
F                    F
I'd always hoped for better
        Am           Dadd11
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
F                      F
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
   Am                   Dadd11
So take your fast car and keep on driving


CHORUS 3:
Am   Dadd11        F
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Am
City lights lay out before us
         G
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    F  Am       G
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
    F  Am       G                           F           G
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


VERSE 7:
Fmaj7          F
You got a fast car
          Am                     Dadd11
But is it fast enough so you can  fly away
Fmaj7               F
You gotta make a decision
Am                            Dadd11
You leave tonight or live and die this way
