[A] You got a fast car, [B] I [E] want a ticket [A] to anywhere, maybe we'll make a deal
Maybe [E] together we can get [A] somewhere, any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose, maybe we'll make something
[B] Me and my stuff, [A] I got nothing to prove
[E]
[A] [E]
[A] You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here
Been working at the convenience store, managed to save just a little bit of money
Wouldn't want it to drive too far, just [E] crossed the border and you need [A] to say
You and I can both get jobs, finally see what it means to be living
See [E]
[A] [E]
[A] my old man's got a problem, [F#m] he [E] lives with the bottom, that's the [A] way it is
He says his body's too old for working, I said his body's [E] too young, he could look [A] like this
My mama went off and left him, [F#m] she wanted [E] more from life than you could [A] give
I said somebody's got to take care of him, so I quit [E] school and that's what I [A] did
You
[D] [E] [A]
got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision, we'll leave [E] tonight or live and die [A] this way
Cause [E] [A]
I remember [D] when we were driving, driving in your [A] car, speed so fast felt like I was [F#m] drunk
City lights laid [E] out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
[D] And [A] I, I had a feeling [E] that I [D] belonged
And [A] I, I had a feeling [E] I could be [D] someone, be [E] someone, be [A] someone

[D] [A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] got a fast car, we [E] go cruising, entertain ourselves, [D] you [A] still ain't got a job
I work [E] in the market as a checkout [A] girl and I know things will get better
You'll find [E] work and [A] I'll get promoted, we'll move out of the shelter
Buy [E] a big house [A] and live in the suburbs
You [E]
[A] [E]
[A] got a fast [D] car, I got [E] a job that pays all our [A] bills
You stay out drinking late at the [D] bar, see [E] more of your friends than you do [A] your kids
And I always hoped for better, thought maybe [E] together you and me would [A] find it
Ain't got no plans, ain't going nowhere, just take your fast car and keep on driving
Cause [D] [A] [D]
