[Intro]
Dmaj7 A F#m E x4
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast
car.
F#m
E
I want a ticket to
anywhere.
Dmaj7 A
Maybe we make a
deal,
F#m
E
Maybe together we
can get
somewhere.
Dmaj7 A
Any place is
better.
F#m
E
Starting from zero,
got nothing to
lose.
Dmaj7
A
Maybe we'll make
something,
F#m
E
Me myself, I got
nothing to prove.
[Instrumental]
[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
E
And your arm felt
nice wrapped 'round
my shoulder.
D F#m E
And I had a
feeling that I
belonged
D F#m E
F#m
D
F#m
And I had a
feeling I could --
be someone, be
someone, be
someone.

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast
car.
F#m E
I got a plan to get
us out of here-
Dmaj7
A
I been working at
the convenience
store,
F#m
E
Managed to save just
a little bit of
money.
Dmaj7
A
Won't have to drive
too far
F#m
E
Just 'cross the
border and into the
city,
Dmaj7 A
You and I can both
get jobs
F#m
E
And finally see what
it means to be
living.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m E x2
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
A
You see, my old
man's got a
problem-
F#m
E
He live with the
bottle, that's the
way it is.
Dmaj7
A
He says his body's
too old for
working,
F#m
E
His body's too young
to look like his.
Dmaj7
A F#m
E
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
E
So I quit school and
that's what I
did.
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 A F#m E x2
[Verse 4]
Dmaj7 A
You got a fast
car.
F#m
E
But is it fast
enough so we can fly
away?
Dmaj7
A
We gotta make a
decision-
F#m
E
Leave tonight or
live and die this
way.

Dmaj7 A
You got a fast

F#m
E
And we go cruising
to entertain
ourselves;
Dmaj7

a job
F#m
E
And I work in a
market as a checkout
girl.
Dmaj7
A
I know things will
get better-
F#m
