[Verse]
D         A       
You got a fast car
F#m7     E                 
I want a ticket to anywhere
D        A          
Maybe we make a deal
F#m7  E                            
Maybe together we can get somewhere
D   A              
Any place is better
F#m7          E                       
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
D           A             
Maybe we'll make something
F#m7 F#m          E               
Me   myself I got nothing to prove
D A F#m E D A F#m7 E

A                 
You got a fast car
F#m7    E                        
I got a plan to get us outta here
       D              A                
I been working at the convenience store
F#m7       E                              
Managed to save just a little bit of money
D             A            
Won't have to drive too far
F#m7            E                       
Just across the border and into the city
D       A                  
You and I can both get jobs
F#m7    E                       D     
Finally see what it means to be living
A F#m7 E D A F#m E

D          A                  
See my old man's got a problem
   F#m7         E                          
He lives with a bottle that's the way it is
            D          A              
He says his body's too old for working
    F#m7       E                     
His body's too young to look like his
     D         A               
When mama went off and left him
    F#m7             E                      
She wanted more from life than he could give
       D          A                     
I said Somebody's gotta take care of him
F#m7      E                           
So I quit school and that's what I did
D A F#m E D A F#m7 E
■ ■ ■   ■ ■ ■ ■    ■
D         A       
You got a fast car
      F#m7 E                        
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
D        A              
We gotta make a decision
F#m7  E                               
Leave tonight or live and die this way
D A F#m7 E D A F#m7

[Chorus]
E    E7                    D                          
So I remember when we were driving driving in your car
A                                    
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
F#m7                         
City lights lay out before us
    E                                            
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
D   F#m         E                       D
And ■   I had a feeling that I belonged ■
F#m         E                          D  E                 
■   I had a feeling I could be someone be someone be someone

[Verse]
A                 
You got a fast car
F#m7  E                           
We go cruising entertain ourselves
    D     A              
You still ain't got a job
      F#m7      E                        
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
D      A                     
I know things will get better
F#m7        E                         
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
    D     A                      
And we'll move out of the shelter
F#m7         E                     D      
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
A F#m7 E D A F#m7

And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
F#m         E                       D
And I had a feeling that I belonged ■
F#m         E                          D  E

I got a job that pays all our bills
    D        A                       
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
F#m7             E                               
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
D          A               
I'd always hoped for better
F#m7          E                            
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
  D      A                          
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
   F#m7           E               A      
So take your fast car and keep on driving
D A F#m7 E A F#m7
