[Intro] C  G  Em7  D 

C              G     Em7                 D  
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere 
C              G     Em7            D 
Maybe we make a deal,Maybe together we can get somewhere  
C           G       Em7               D   
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose  
C                G        Em7                D 
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove  

C              G    Em7                 D 
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here  
C                 G                Em7                   D 
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money  
C               G              Em7                   D 
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city  
C            G              Em7                      D 
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living  
  
C                    G             Em7                   D 
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is  
C                   G                Em7             D 
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his  
C                 G            Em7                D 
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give  
C                   G                  Em7                   D 
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did  

C                G  Em7                    D  
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away  
C             G          Em7            D   
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way  

               C9 
I remember we were driving driving in your car  
         G 
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk  
Em 
City lights lay out before us  
D  
And your arm felt nice wrapped'round my shoulder  
C   Em       D 
And I had a feeling that I belonged  
C  Em         D                      C            D 
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone  

C               G   Em7              D 
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves  
C               G          Em7                  D 
You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl  
C            G                Em7                 D 
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted  
C           G                Em7               D 
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs  

               C9

You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills  
C                     G               Em7                   D 
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids  
C                     G    Em7                    D 
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it  
C              G                     Em7                  D 
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving

C               G  Em7                         D 
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away  
C                G         Em7                  D  
You gotta make a decision, You leave tonight or live and die this way
