_ _ _ You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we make a deal.
Maybe together we can get somewhere, any place is better.
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Maybe we'll make something, me, myself, I got nothing to prove. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here, been working at the convenience store.
Managed to save us a little bit of money, won't have to drive too far.
Just cross the border and into the city, you and I can both get jobs and finally see what
it means to be a living. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ See my old man's got a problem, he lives with a bottle that's the way it [D] is.
He says [A] his body's too old for working, 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, so I quit school and that's what I [D] did.

_ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away?
You gotta make a decision, leave [C#m] tonight or live [A] and die this way. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I remember [D] when we were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast it felt like I [F#m] was drunk.
Sitting that day out [E] before, sitting your arms out in that strap around my [F#m] shoulder
and I, I [E] had a feeling that I belonged.
[F#m] _ I, I [E] had a feeling I could be [D] someone, [E] be someone, be someone.
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You got a fast car, we go cruising, entertain ourselves, still ain't got a job.
Now work in the market as a checkout girl, I know things will get better.
You'll find work and I'll get promoted and we'll move out of the shelter,
buy a bigger house and live in [D] the [A] suburbs. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I remember [D] when we were driving, driving in your car, [A] speed so fast it felt like I was drunk.
[F#m] Sitting that day out [E] before, sitting your arms out in that strap around [F#m] my shoulder
and I, I [E] had a feeling that I [F#m] belonged.
I, I [E] had a feeling I could be [D] someone, be [E] someone, be [D] someone.

_ _ _ _ You got a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills.
[D] We sell [A] chicken, take out the bar, some more of your friends and you do your kids.
I'd always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me, finally they got no plans,
ain't going nowhere, take your fast car and keep on [D] driving.
[A] _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ remember when [D] we were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast it felt like I was [F#m] drunk.
Sitting that day out [E] before, sitting your arms out in that strap around my [D] shoulder
and [F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling that I belonged.
[F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling I could be someone, [D] be [E] someone, be [D]
someone.
