[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car,
Em Dsus4
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we make a deal,
Em Dsus4
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7 G
Any place is better.
Em Dsus4
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we'll make something,
Em Dsus4
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dsus4
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Cmaj7 G
I been working at the convenience store
Em Dsus4
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Cmaj7 G
Won't have to drive too far
Em Dsus4
Just cross the border and into the city
Cmaj7 G
You and I can both get jobs
Em Dsus4
And finally see what it means to be living

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 G
You see my old man's got a problem
Em Dsus4
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
Cmaj7 G
He says his body's too old for working
Em Dsus4
His body's too young to look like his
Cmaj7 G
My mama went off and left him
Em Dsus4
She wanted more from life than he could give
Cmaj7 G
I said, "somebody's got to take care of him"
Em Dsus4
So I quit school and that's what I did

[Verse 4]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dsus4
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
Cmaj7 G
We gotta make a decision
Em Dsus4
We leave tonight or live and die this way

Cmaj7 G Em Dsus4 Cmaj7 G Em Dsus4
[Chorus 1]
Em Dsus4 C
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
D
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
C Em D
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D C D
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 5]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dsus4
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
Cmaj7 G
You still ain't got a job
Em Dsus4
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
Cmaj7 G
I know things will get better
Em Dsus4
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Cmaj7 G
Well move out of the shelter
Em Dsus4
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

[Verse 6]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dsus4
And I got a job that pays all our bills
Cmaj7 G
You stay out drinking late at the bar
Em Dsus4
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
C G
I'd always hoped for better
Em Dsus4
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
C G
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
Em Dsus4
So take your fast car and keep on driving
