DAF#mE (4x)
[Verse 1]
DA
You got a fast car.
F#mE
I want a ticket to anywhere.
DA
Maybe we make a deal,
F#mE
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
DA
Any place is better.
F#mE
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
DA
Maybe we'll make something,
F#mE
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.
[Instrumental]
DAF#mE (2x)
[Verse 2]
DA
You got a fast car.
F#mE
I got a plan to get us out of here:
DA
I been working at the convenience store,
F#mE
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
DA
We won't have to drive too far
F#mE
Just 'cross the border and into the city,
DA
You and I can both get jobs
F#mE
And finally see what it means to be living.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
DA
You see, my old man's got a problem:
F#mE
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
DA
He says his body's too old for working,
F#mE
His body's too young to look like his.
DAF#mE
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
DA
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
F#mE
So I quit school and that's what I did.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
DA
You got a fast car.
F#mE
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
DA
We gotta make a decision:
F#mE
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
[Instrumental]
DAF#mE (2x)
[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.
DF#mE
And I had a feeling that I belonged
DF#mEDE
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.
[Instrumental]
DAF#mE (2x)
[Verse 5]
DA
You got a fast car.
F#mE
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
DA
you still ain't got a job
F#mE
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
DA
I know things will get better:
F#mE
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
DA
We'll move out of the shelter
F#mE
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
[Instrumental]
DAF#mE (2x)
[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.
DF#mE
And I had a feeling that I belonged
DF#mEDE
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 6]
DA
You got a fast car.
F#mE
And I got a job that pays all our bills.
DA
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
F#mE
You see more your friends than you do your kids.
DA
I'd always hoped for better,
F#mE
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
DA
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
F#mE
so take your fast car and keep on driving.
[Instrumental]
