(Intro.)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  / | x 2

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

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  / |

(Verse)
(C)You got a fast (G) car
And (Em)I got a plan (D)to get us out of here             
I've been (C)working at the conven-(G)ience store
(Em)Managed to save (D)just a little bit of money
(C)Won't have to drive (G)too far
Just a-(Em)cross the border (D)and into the city
And (C)you and I (G)can both get jobs
(Em)Finally see (D)what it means to be living

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  /

(Verse)
See, (C)my old man's (G)got a problem            
He (Em)lives with the bottle, (D)that's the way it is
He said his (C)body's too old (G) for working
His (Em)body's too young (D)to look like his
So (C)Mama went off (G)and left him
She (Em)wanted more from life (D)than he could give
I said, (C)somebody's got to (G)take care of him     
So (Em)I quit school and (D)that's what I did

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  / |

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

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em)

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

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  / |

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

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em)

(Chorus)              
So I re-(C)member when we were driving, driving in your car                   
(G)Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk    
(Em) City lights lay out before us     
And your (D)arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And (C)I-(Em)I, had a (D)feeling that I belonged
(C)I-(Em)I had a (D)feeling I could be someone, (C)be someone, (D) be someone

(Solo)
|(C) /(G)  / |(Em) /(D)  / |

(Verse)
(C)You got a fast (G) car
(Em)I got a job that (D)pays all our bills
You (C)stay out drink-(G)ing late at the bar
See (Em)more of your friends than (D)you Do of your kids
(C)I'd always hoped (G)for better  
Thought (Em)maybe togeth-(D)er you and me would find it
I (C)got no plans, I (G)ain't going nowhere
(Em)Take your fast car (D)and keep on driving
