You got a fast car.
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
Maybe we make a deal,
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
Any place is better.
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#

Maybe we'll make something,
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

You got a fast car.
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
I got a plan to get us out of here:
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
I been working at the convenience store,
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
Won't have to drive too far
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Just 'cross the border and into the city,
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
You and I can both get jobs
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
And finally see what it means to be living.
Cmaj7 G Em D x2C#maj7 G# Fm D# x2Dmaj7 A F#m E x2D#maj7 A# Gm F x2Emaj7 B G#m F# x2Fmaj7 C Am G x2F#maj7 C# A#m G# x2Gmaj7 D Bm A x2G#maj7 D# Cm A# x2Amaj7 E C#m B x2A#maj7 F Dm C x2Bmaj7 F# D#m C# x2

You see, my old man's got a problem:
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Cmaj7 G C#maj7 G# Dmaj7 A D#maj7 A# Emaj7 B Fmaj7 C F#maj7 C# Gmaj7 D G#maj7 D# Amaj7 E A#maj7 F Bmaj7 F#
He says his body's too old for working,
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
His body's too young to look like his.
Cmaj7 G Em D C#maj7 G# Fm D# Dmaj7 A F#m E D#maj7 A# Gm F Emaj7 B G#m F# Fmaj7 C Am G F#maj7 C# A#m G# Gmaj7 D Bm A G#maj7 D# Cm A# Amaj7 E C#m B A#maj7 F Dm C Bmaj7 F# D#m C#
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Cmaj7 G C#maj7 G# Dmaj7 A D#maj7 A# Emaj7 B Fmaj7 C F#maj7 C# Gmaj7 D G#maj7 D# Amaj7 E A#maj7 F Bmaj7 F#
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
So I quit school and that's what I did.

Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
You got a fast car.
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
We gotta make a decision:
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Em* C Fm* C# F#m* D Gm* D# G#m* E Am* F A#m* F# Bm* G Cm* G# C#m* A Dm* A# D#m* B
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Em CFm C#F#m DGm D#G#m EAm FA#m F#Bm GCm G#C#m ADm A#D#m B
City lights lay out before us
Em C Fm C# F#m D Gm D# G#m E Am F A#m F# Bm G Cm G# C#m A Dm A# D#m B
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
C Em D C# Fm D# D F#m E D# Gm F E G#m F# F Am G F# A#m G# G Bm A G# Cm A# A C#m B A# Dm C B D#m C#

Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
you still ain't got a job
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
I know things will get better:
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
We'll move out of the shelter
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
You see more your friends than you do your kids.
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
I'd always hoped for better,
Em DFm D#F#m EGm FG#m F#Am GA#m G#Bm ACm A#C#m BDm CD#m C#
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
Cmaj7 GC#maj7 G#Dmaj7 AD#maj7 A#Emaj7 BFmaj7 CF#maj7 C#Gmaj7 DG#maj7 D#Amaj7 EA#maj7 FBmaj7 F#
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
Em D Fm D# F#m E Gm F G#m F# Am G A#m G# Bm A Cm A# C#m B Dm C D#m C#
so take your fast car and keep on driving.
