Managed to save just a little bit of money.

Leave tonight or live and die this way.

D#maj7 A#  Gm F X2

D#maj7                       D#                A#
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
D#                         A#
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Gm              D#
City lights lay out before us
Gm                     F
And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder.
D# Gm      F
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
D# Gm      F                  Gm          D#           Gm
And I   had a feeling I could — be someone, be someone, be someone.

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
D#maj7                 A#
you still ain’t got a job
Gm                    F
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
D#maj7                  A#
I know things will get better:
Gm                   F
You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted,
D#maj7                 A#
We’ll move out of the shelter
Gm                     F
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
