Cmaj7     A9sus G6  A9sus
You got a fast  car,

Em7                Em9     A9sus
I want a ticket to anywhere.

Cmaj7    A9sus  G6   A9sus
Maybe we make a deal,

Em7                   Em9     A9sus
maybe together we can get somewhere.

Cmaj7     A9sus G6     A9sus
Any place is    better,

Em7                       Em9      A9sus
starting from zero, got nothing to lose.

Cmaj7       A9sus G6       A9sus
Maybe we'll make  something,

Em7                Em9      A9sus
me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Cmaj7     A9sus G6  A9sus
You got a fast  car,

Em7                    Em9    A9sus
I got a plan to get us out of here.

Cmaj7             A9sus G6          A9sus
I been working at the   convenience store,

Em7                           Em9    A9sus
managed to save just a little bit of money.

Cmaj7               A9sus G6  A9sus
Won't have to drive too   far,

Em7                        Em9      A9sus
just 'cross the border and into the city.

Cmaj7     A9sus G6       A9sus
You and I can   both get jobs,

    Em7                 Em9         A9sus
and finally see what it means to be living.

         Cmaj7        A9sus G6     A9sus
You see, my old man's got a problem,

   Em7                              Em9    A9sus
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.

   Cmaj7                   A9sus G6     A9sus
He says his body's too old for   working,

    Em7                 Em9       A9sus
his body's too young to look like his.

   Cmaj7         A9sus G6   A9sus
My mama went off and   left him,

    Em7                        Em9      A9sus
she wanted more from life than he could give,

         Cmaj7             A9sus G6      A9sus
I said, "Somebody's got to take  care of him."

   Em7                   Em9    A9sus
So I quit school, that's what I did.

Cmaj7     A9sus G6  A9sus
You got a fast  car,

          Em7                   Em9  A9sus
but is it fast enough so we can fly away?

Cmaj7         A9sus G6    A9sus
We gotta make a   decision,

Em7                       Em9      A9sus
leave tonight or live and die this way.

                         C
So remember when we were driving, driving in your car,

G
speed so fast it felt like I was drunk.

Em
The city lights lay out before us,

         D
and your arm felt nice wrapped ‘round my shoulder.

    C  Em       D
And I  I  had a feeling that I belonged.

    C  Em       D                           C           D
And I  I  had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.

Cmaj7     A9sus G6  A9sus
You got a fast  car,

Em7                    Em9      A9sus
we go cruising to entertain ourselves.

Cmaj7           A9sus G6  A9sus
You still ain't got a job,

      Em7                   Em9      A9sus
and I work in a market as a checkout girl.

Cmaj7              A9sus G6    A9sus
I know things will get   better,

Em7                       Em9      A9sus
You'll find work and I'll get promoted.

Cmaj7             A9sus G6     A9sus
We'll move out of the   shelter,

Em7                 Em9           A9sus
buy a big house and live in the suburbs.

                         C

and I got a job that pays all our bills.

Cmaj7        A9sus    G6          A9sus
You stay out drinking late at the bar,

        Em7                        Em9     A9sus
You see more your friends than you do your kids.

Cmaj7            A9sus G6    A9sus
I'd always hoped for   better,

Em7                               Em9        A9sus
thought maybe together you and me would find it.

Cmaj7            A9sus G6      A9sus
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,

   Em7                         Em9     A9sus
so take your fast car and keep on drivin'.

                         C
