[F] [C] You got a fast car.
I want to take it to anywhere.

[F] And we don't [C] have to drive too far.
Just cross the border and into the city.
You and I can both get jobs.
Finally see what it means to [F] be living.

See my old man's got a problem.
He lives with the battle.
That's the way it is.
He say his body's too old for working.
I say his body's too young to look like [F] his.
My [C] mama went off and left him.
And she wanted more from helping what he could [F] give.
[C] Somebody's got to take care of him.
So I quit school.
That's what I [F] did.
[C]
And you got a fast car.
If it's fast enough for me to fly away
We gotta make a decision
To leave tonight or live and die this way
[F] [C] Live [Am] [C] and die [F] this [C] way, yeah
[Am] [C] Remember we [F] were driving, driving in your car
[C] Speed so fast it felt like [Bm] I was drunk
[A] And the city lights lit up [Gm] before
So your arm felt nice wrapped around [Am] my shoulder
[F] [Am] And I, I, [G] had a feeling that I belonged
[F] And [Am] I, I, [G] had a feeling I could be [F] someone
Be someone, [G] be [F] someone
[C] You got a Ferris car, you got a Ferris car
Yes, you got a Ferris car
I've got a job, peace all I [F] feel
You stay [C] up drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do your kids
[F] I'd [C] always hoped for better
[Am] Baby, [C] if you were good you would [F] be fine
You ain't got no [C] plans, ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on [F] driving
[C] Be [Am] someone [C] and get [F] somewhere, [C] baby
So you got a Ferris [Am] car
If it's fast [C] enough for me to fly away
