Cmaj7 GEm D x4
[Verse 1] 
Cmaj7G You got a fast car.
EmD I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7G Maybe we make a deal,
EmD Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7G Any place is better.
EmD Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7G Maybe we'll make something,
EmD Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

[Verse 2] 
Cmaj7G You got a fast car.
EmD I got a plan to get us out of here:
Cmaj7G I been working at the convenience store,
EmD Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Cmaj7G Won't have to drive too far
EmD Just 'cross the border and into the city,
Cmaj7G You and I can both get jobs
EmD And finally see what it means to be living.

[Verse 3] 
Cmaj7G You see, my old man's got a problem:
EmD He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Cmaj7G He says his body's too old for working,
EmD His body's too young to look like his.
Cmaj7GEmD My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Cmaj7G I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
EmD So I quit school and that's what I did.

[Verse 4] 
Cmaj7G You got a fast car.
EmD But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7G We gotta make a decision:
EmD Leave tonight or live and die this way.

[Chorus] 
CG So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
CG The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
EmC City lights lay out before us
EmD And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
C EmD And I had a feeling that I belonged
C EmDEmCEm And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 5] 
Cmaj7G You got a fast car.
EmD And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Cmaj7G you still ain't got a job
EmD And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Cmaj7G I know things will get better:
EmD You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Cmaj7G We'll move out of the shelter
EmD Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
Cmaj7 GEm D x2
[Chorus] 
CG So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
CG The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
EmC City lights lay out before us
EmD And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
C EmD And I had a feeling that I belonged
C EmDEmCEm And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 6] 
Cmaj7G You got a fast car.
EmD And I got a job that pays all our bills.
Cmaj7G You stay out drinking late at the bar,
EmD You see more your friends than you do your kids.
Cmaj7G I'd always hoped for better,
EmD Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
Cmaj7G I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
EmD so take your fast car and keep on driving.
