Chords for Tracy Chapman | Fast Car | Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] [A] You're the fire escort
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
_ Maybe [E] together we can [A] get [D] somewhere
[A]
Anyplace is better
[F#] Starting [A] from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, got nothing to [D] prove
[A] _ You're _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ [A] _
[D] [A] the fire escort
[F#m] [E] I got a plan to get us out of [D] here
Better than [A] working at the convenience store
Managed to [E] save just [A] a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
[F#m] Just cross [E] the border and [A] into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be a living
See, _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ my old man's got a problem
Give up the bottle, that's the way it is
He says, but it's too old for working
Says, but it's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
[F#] She wanted more from [A] life than he could give
Says, somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school, that's what I [D] did
[A] You _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ and I, fire escort
So fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
[F#m] Leave [E] tonight or live and die this [A] way
I _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ remember when we [D] were driving
Driving in your [A] car
She'd eat so fast, look like I [F#m] was drunk
Sitting nice, stay out the porch
[E] Compton, I stepped around my shoulder
[D] And [F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling that I belonged
[D]
[F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling I could be [D] someone
Be someone, [E] be [D] someone
[A] You _ [F#m] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
[F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ and I, fire escort
[F#m] We go [E] cruising, entertain [A] ourselves
Still ain't got the job
Now I work in [E] the market as a checkout [D] girl
[A] I know things will get better
You'll find work, I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
[F#m] Buy a [A] big house and live in [D] the suburbs
[A] _
I [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ remember when we [D] were driving
Driving in your [A] car
She'd eat so fast, look like I was [F#m] drunk
Sitting nice, stay out the [E] porch
Compton, I stepped around my [D] shoulder
And I, [F#]
I [E] had a feeling that I [D] belonged
I, [F#]
I [E] had a feeling I could be [D] someone
Be [E] someone, be [D] someone
[A] You _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ and I, fire escort
I got a job that pays all our [D] bills
Stay [A] out drinking, date at [F#m] the bar
More [E] your friends than [A] you do your kids
I know it's hope for a better
[F#m] Maybe together [E] you and [D] me
You'll find that I got no [A] plans
I ain't going [F#m] nowhere
So take your best [E] car and come on, [D] drive ahead
[A] I [F#m] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A]
remember [D] when we were driving
Driving in your [A] car
She'd eat so fast, look like I [F#m] was drunk
Sitting nice, stay out the [E] porch
Compton, I stepped around my [D] shoulder
And I, [F#m] I [E] had a feeling that I belonged
[D] [F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling I could be someone
[D] Be [E] someone, be someone
[D] _ [A] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] You got a fire escort
[F#m] Fast [E] enough so you can [A] fly away
You got to make a decision
[E] Eat tonight or live and [A] die this way
Live _ [F#m] _ [A] and die this [D] way
[A] _
Live [F#m] _ [A] and die this way
Live _ _ and die this way _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
