You got a fast car 
Em                 D
I want a ticket to anywhere 
Cmaj7           G
Maybe we make a deal,
Em                    D
Maybe together we can get somewhere 
Cmaj7        G
Any place is better 
Em                      D
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose 
Cmaj7            G
Maybe we'll make something,
Em               D
Me myself, I got nothing to prove 
 
 
Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car 
Em              D
I got a plan to get us out of here
Cmaj7                 G
I been working at the convenience store,
Em                     D
Managed to save just a little bit of money 
Cmaj7                   G
Won't have to drive too far
Em                         D
Just 'cross the border and into the city, 
Cmaj7         G
You and I can both get jobs
    Em                  D
And finally see what it means to be living 
 
 

 
Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car 
          Em                
is it fast enough so we can 
    D
fly away?
Cmaj7             G
We gotta make a decision
Em                        D
Leave tonight or live and die this way

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

You see, my old man's got a problem
   Em                    
He live with the bottle, 
           D
that’s the way it is 
   Cmaj7                       
He says his body's too old for 
G
working,
    Em                  D
His body's too young to look like his 
   Cmaj7             G                                  
My mama went off and left him, 
    Em
she wanted more from life than 
D
he could give,
         Cmaj7             
I said, "Somebody's got to 
     G
take care of him "
   Em                       
So I quit school and that's 
D
what I did 
 
 
Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car 
    Em                     D
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Cmaj7                 G
you still ain't got a job
      Em                    D
And I work in a market as a checkout girl 
Cmaj7                  G
I know things will get better
Em                   D
You'll find work and I'll get promoted, 
Cmaj7                 G
We'll move out of the shelter
Em                     D
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs 
 
 

 
Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car 
          Em                    D
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7             G
We gotta make a decision
Em                        D
Leave tonight or live and die this way
