Fast Car

D  A  F#m  E (4x)

[Verse 1]
D              A
You got a fast car.
F#m                E
I want a ticket to anywhere.
D               A
Maybe we make a deal,
F#m                   E
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
D            A
Any place is better.
F#m                     E
Starting from zero, got nothing to 
lose.
D                A
Maybe we'll make something,
F#m               E
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

[Verse 2]
D              A
You got a fast car.
F#m             E
I got a plan to get us out of here:
D                     A
I been working at the convenience 
store,
F#m                    E
Managed to save just a little bit of
 money.
D                      A
We won't have to drive too far
F#m                        E
Just 'cross the border and into the 
city,
D             A
You and I can both get jobs
    F#m                  E
And finally see what it means to be 
living.

[Verse 3]
         D                  A
You see, my old man's got a problem:
   F#m                             
He live with the bottle, that’s the
 E
 way it is.
   D                          
He says his body's too old for 
 A
working,
    F#m                 E
His body's too young to look like 
his.
   D                 A             
My mama went off and left him, she 
F#m                        E
wanted more from life than he could 
give,
         D                      A
I said, "Somebody's got to take care
 of him."
   F#m                      E
So I quit school and that's what I 
did.

[Verse 4]
D              A
You got a fast car.
          F#m                   E
But is it fast enough so we can fly 
away?
D                 A
We gotta make a decision:
F#m                       E
Leave tonight or live and die this 
way.

[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                  
And I   had a feeling I could be 
         D           E
someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 5]
D              A
You got a fast car.
    F#m                    E
And we go cruising to entertain 
ourselves;
D                     A
you still ain't got a job
      F#m                   E
And I work in a market as a checkout
 girl.
D                      A
I know things will get better:
F#m                  E
You'll find work and I'll get 
promoted,
D                     A
We'll move out of the shelter
F#m                    E
Buy a bigger house and live in the 
suburbs.

someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 6]

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