_ _ _ You get a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we make a deal.
Maybe together we can get somewhere, any place is better. _
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose, maybe we'll make something. _
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove. _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You get a fast car, I got [E] a plan to get us [D] out of here, been working [A] at the convenience store.
Managed to save just a little bit of money, won't have to drive too far.
Just cross the border and into the city, you and I can both get jobs and finally see what
it means to be a living. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ See my old man's got a problem, he lives with a bottle that's the way it is, he says his
body's too old for working, his body's too young to look like his.
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give.
I said somebody's got to take care of him, so I quit school and that's what I did. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ You get a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live and die this [D] way.

_ _ I remember when [D] you were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast it felt like I was [F#m] drunk.
City lights lay out before [E] us and your arm felt nice, wrapped around my [D] shoulder and
[F#m] I, I [E] had a feeling that I belonged.
[F#m] I _ [E] had a feeling I could be someone, [D] be [E] someone, be someone.
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You get a fast car, we go cruise and entertain ourselves, still ain't got a job.
Now work in [C#m] the market as a checkout [A] girl, I know things will get better.
You'll find work and I'll get promoted and we'll move out of the shelter, buy a bigger
house and live in the suburbs. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You get a fast car, I got a job that pays all our bills, we sell, drink and date at
the bar, some more of your [C#m] friends and you do your [A] kids.
I'd always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me, fine, if you got no plans
it ain't going nowhere, take your fast car and keep on driving. _ _
