| [Intro] Dmaj7 A F#m E x4 [Verse 1] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E I want a ticket to anywhere. Dmaj7 A Maybe we make a deal, F#m E Maybe together we can get somewhere. Dmaj7 A Any place is better. F#m E Starting from zero, got nothing to lose. Dmaj7 A Maybe we'll make something, F#m E Me myself, I got nothing to prove. [Instrumental] [Chorus] D So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car, A The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, F#m City lights lay out before us E And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. D F#m E And I had a feeling that I belonged D F#m E F#m D F#m And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 2] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E I got a plan to get us out of here- Dmaj7 A I been working at the convenience store, F#m E Managed to save just a little bit of money. Dmaj7 A Won't have to drive too far F#m E Just 'cross the border and into the city, Dmaj7 A You and I can both get jobs F#m E And finally see what it means to be living. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 3] Dmaj7 A You see, my old man's got a problem- F#m E He live with the bottle, that's the way it is. Dmaj7 A He says his body's too old for working, F#m E His body's too young to look like his. Dmaj7 A F#m E My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give, Dmaj7 A I said, Somebody's got to take care of him. F#m E So I quit school and that's what I did. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 4] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E But is it fast enough so we can fly away? Dmaj7 A We gotta make a decision- F#m E Leave tonight or live and die this way. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E X2 [Chorus] D So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car, A The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, F#m City lights lay out before us E And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. D F#m E And I had a feeling that I belonged D F#m E F#m D F#m And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 5] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E And we go cruising to entertain ourselves; Dmaj7 A you still ain't got a job F#m E And I work in a market as a checkout girl. Dmaj7 A I know things will get better- F#m E You'll find work and I'll get promoted, Dmaj7 A We'll move out of the shelter F#m E Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Chorus] D So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car, A The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, F#m City lights lay out before us E And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. D F#m E And I had a feeling that I belonged D F#m E F#m D F#m And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 6] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E And I got a job that pays all our bills. Dmaj7 A You stay out drinking late at the bar, F#m E You see more your friends than you do your kids. Dmaj7 A I'd always hoped for better, F#m E Thought maybe together you and me would find it, Dmaj7 A I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, F#m E so take your fast car and keep on driving. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Chorus] 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, F#m D City lights lay out before us F#m E And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. D F#m E And I had a feeling that I belonged D F#m E F#m D F#m And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. [Instrumental] Dmaj7 A F#m E x2 [Verse 7] Dmaj7 A You got a fast car. F#m E But is it fast enough so we can fly away? Dmaj7 A We gotta make a decision- F#m E Leave tonight or live and die this way. [Outro] Dmaj7 A F#m E x3 Dmaj7 A |
