VERSE 1:
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car,
Em Dadd11
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we make a deal,
Em Dadd11
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7 G
Any place is better.
Em Dadd11
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we'll make something,
Em Dadd11
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

You see my old man's got a problem
Em Dadd11
He live with the bottle that's the way it is

He says his body's too old for working
Em Dadd11
His body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than he could give

I said, "somebody's got to take care of him"

And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
