CHORDS : Fmaj7, C, Am, G, F

INTRO; Fmaj7 C  Am G x4

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am                 G
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Fmaj7           C
Maybe we make a deal,
Am                    G
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Fmaj7        C
Any place is better.
Am                      G
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Fmaj7            C
Maybe we’ll make something,
Am               G
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am              G
I got a plan to get us out of here:
Fmaj7                 C
I been working at the convenience store,
Am                     G
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Fmaj7                   C
Won’t have to drive too far
Am                         G
Just ‘cross the border and into the city,
Fmaj7         C
You and I can both get jobs
Am                  G
And finally see what it means to be living.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7              C
You see, my old man’s got a problem:
Am                               G
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Fmaj7                       C
He says his body’s too old for working,
Am                  G
His body’s too young to look like his.
Fmaj7             C             Am                         G
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Fmaj7                  C
I said, “Somebody’s got to take care of him.”
Am                       G
So I quit school and that’s what I did.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am                    G
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Fmaj7             C
We gotta make a decision:
Am                        G
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7                       F                C
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
F                         C
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am              F
City lights lay out before us
Am                     G
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder.
F Am      G
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
F Am      G                  Am          F           Am
And I   had a feeling I could — be someone, be someone, be someone.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am                     G
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Fmaj7                 C
you still ain’t got a job
Am                    G
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Fmaj7                  C
I know things will get better:
Am                   G
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted,
Fmaj7                 C
We’ll move out of the shelter
Am                     G
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7                       F                C
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
F                         C
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am              F
City lights lay out before us
Am                     G
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder.
F Am      G
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
F Am      G                  Am          F           Am
And I   had a feeling I could — be someone, be someone, be someone.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am               G
And I got a job that pays all our bills.
Fmaj7                 C
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
Am                         G
You see more your friends than you do your kids.
Fmaj7                C
I’d always hoped for better,
Am                     G
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
Fmaj7                  C
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere,
Am                     G
so take your fast car and keep on driving.

Fmaj7 C  Am G X2

And I   had a feeling that I belonged
