Fast Car

C7M            G
You got a fast car
Em                     D
And I want a ticket to anywhere
C7M            G
Maybe we make a deal
Em                     D
Maybe together we can get somewhere
C7M            G
Any place is better
Em                     D
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
C7M               G
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Em                  D
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove

C7M            G
You got a fast car
Em                  D
And I got a plan to get us outta here
C7M                         G
I've been workin' at the convenience store
Em                  D
Managed to save just a little bit of money
C7M            G
Won't have to drive too far
Em                  D
Just across the border and into the city
C7M                 G
And you and I can both get jobs
Em                  D
Finally see what it means to be livin'

C7M                 G
See, my old man's got a problem
Em                  D
He live in the bottle, that's the way it is
C7M                    G
He said his body's too old for workin'
Em                  D
His body's too young to look like his
C7M                G
So mama went off and left him
Em                  D
She wanted more from life than he could give
C7M                      G
I said: Somebody's gotta take care of him
Em                  D
So I quit school and that's what I did

C7M            G
You got a fast car
Em                  D
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
C7M            G
Still gotta make a decision
Em                  D
Leave tonight or live and die this way

D                           C
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
G
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
           D
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
    C Em     D
And I had a feelin' that I belonged
C Em     D
I had a feelin' I could be someone
C           D
Be someone, be someone

C7M            G
You got a fast car
 Em                  D
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves
C7M            G
You still ain't got a job
Em                  D
So I work in the market as a checkout girl
C7M               G
I know things will get better
Em                  D
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
 C7M                 G
And we'll move out of the shelter
Em                  D
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs

D                           C

Be someone, be someone

 C7M            G
You got a fast car
 Em                  D
I got a job that pays all our bills
 C7M                   G
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
  Em                  D
See more of your friends than you do your kids
 C7M            G
I'd always hoped for better
  Em                  D
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
 C7M            G
I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
 Em                  D
Take your fast car and keep on drivin'

D                           C
