[D]
[Bm] [A] [D] [A]
I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we make a deal.
[F#m] Maybe [C#m] together we [A] can get [D] somewhere, [A] any place is better.
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose, maybe we'll make something.
[D] [A] Me, myself, got nothing to [D] prove.
[A]
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
[D] [A] You got a fast car, [F#m] I got a [E] plan to get us out [D] of here.
I've been working at [A] the convenience store.
Managed [E] to save just a little [A] 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 living.
[F#m] [A]
[D] [A]
See, 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.
His body's too young to look like his.
My mama went off and left [F#m] him.
Wanted more [A] from life than he could give.
I say, somebody's got to take care of him.
So I [C#m] quit school, that's what [A] I did.
[F#m] [E] [A] [D] [A]
[F#m] [A] You got a fast car, so fast enough so we can fly away.
We gotta make a decision.
[F#m] Leave [C#m] tonight or live and die [A] this way.
[F#m] [A] [D] [A]
And remember [D] when we were driving, driving in your [A] car.
Skied so fast, I felt like I was [F#m] drunk.
Sitting nice, stay out your voice.
[E] Arm felt nice, wrapped around my [D] shoulder.
And [F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling that I belonged.
[D]
I, [F#m] I [E] had a feeling I could be [Bm] someone, [E] someone, [D] someone.
[A]
[F#m] [A] [D] [A]
[F#m] [A] You got a fast car.
[F#m] We go [E] cruising, [A] entertain ourselves.
Still ain't got a job.
Now I [E] work in the market as a checkout [D] girl.
I [A] know things will get better.
You'll find work and I'll get promoted.
We'll move out of the shelter, [F#m] [A] buy a big house and live in the [D] suburbs.
[A]
[F#m] [A] [D] [A]
[F#m] And remember [D] when we were driving, driving in your car.
[A] Skied so fast, I felt like [F#m] I was drunk.
Sitting nice, stay out your voice.

[D] And [F#] I, I [E] had a feeling that I [F#m] belonged.
[D] [F#] I, I [E] had a feeling I could be someone, [D] [E] someone, someone.
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
You got a fast car.
[F#m] I got a [A] job that pays all our [D] bills.
[A] Stay out kicking, date at the [F#m] bar.
For your [E] friends and you, [A] do your kids.
I know it's hope for a better.
[F#m] But maybe [E] together, you and me, [D] fine.
I got [A] no plans, I ain't going nowhere.
[F#m] So [A] take a fast car and keep on [D] driving.
[A] [F#m] [A]
