Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any Place is better

Am                         G
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

Me myself I got nothing to prove

His body's too young to look like his

      G                  F
So remember when we were driving, driving in your car

C
Speeds so fast I felt like I was drunk

Am
City lights lay out before us

          G
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

    F      Am          G
And I________ had a feeling that I belonged

F       Am       G                           F           G
I_________ had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

F                     C

Am                     G
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
