You got a fast car. 
Em                 D 
I want a ticket to anywhere. 
Cmaj7           G 
Maybe we make a deal, 
Em                    D 
Maybe together we can get somewhere. 
Cmaj7        G 
Any place is better. 
Em                      D 
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose. 
Cmaj7            G 
Maybe we'll make something, 
Em               D 
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Cmaj7          G 
You got a fast car. 
Em              D 
I got a plan to get us out of here: 
Cmaj7                 G 
I been working at the convenience store, 
Em                     D 
Managed to save just a little bit of money. 
Cmaj7                   G 
Won't have to drive too far 
Em                         D 
Just 'cross the border and into the city,  
Cmaj7         G 
You and I can both get jobs 
    Em                  D 
And finally see what it means to be living.

You see, my old man's got a problem: 
   Em                               D 
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is. 
   Cmaj7                       G 
He says his body's too old for working, 
    Em                  D 
His body's too young to look like his. 
   Cmaj7             G             Em                         D 
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give, 
         Cmaj7                  G 
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him." 
   Em                       D 
So I quit school and that's what I did.

Cmaj7          G 
You got a fast car. 
          Em                    D 
But is it fast enough so we can fly away? 
Cmaj7             G 
We gotta make a decision: 
Em                        D 
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

                            C                G 
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, 
    C                         G 
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, 
Em              C 
City lights lay out before us 
         Em                     D 
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.  
    C Em      D 
And I   had a feeling that I belonged 
    C Em      D                  Em          C           Em 
And I   had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

Cmaj7          G 
You got a fast car. 
    Em                     D 
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves; 
Cmaj7                 G 
you still ain't got a job 
      Em                    D 
And I work in a market as a checkout girl. 
Cmaj7                  G 
I know things will get better: 
Em                   D 
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,  
Cmaj7                 G 
We'll move out of the shelter 
Em                     D 
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

You got a fast car. 
    Em               D 
And I got a job that pays all our bills. 
Cmaj7                 G 
You stay out drinking late at the bar, 
        Em                         D 
You see more your friends than you do your kids. 
Cmaj7                G 
I'd always hoped for better, 
Em                     D 
Thought maybe together you and me would find it, 
Cmaj7                  G 
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, 
   Em                     D 
so take your fast car and keep on driving.
