[Bb] _ _ You got a fast car.
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we can make a deal.
Maybe the giver we could get somewhere.
Any place is better.
[Gm] Starting from [F] zero got [Bb] nothing to lose.
Maybe we'll make something.
But me and
myself got nothing to [Eb] prove.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _

[Bb] _ _ You got a fast car.
I got a plan to get us out of
here.
I've been working at the convenience store.
Managed to save just a
little bit of money.
Won't have to drive too far.
[Gm] Just cross the [Db] border and [Bb] into
the city.
You and I can both get jobs.
Finally see what it means to be living. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Bb] _ See my old man's got a problem.
He lived with the bottle.
That's the way it is.
I said his body's too old for working.
Body's too young to look like his.
Well mama went off and left him.
She wanted more from life than he could give.
[Ebm] I said [Bb] somebody's gotta take care of him.
[Gm] So I [Bb] quit school.
That's what I [Eb] did.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _

Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision.
We leave tonight or live and die this way.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
But I remember [Eb] we were driving.
Driving in [Bb] your car.
Speed so fast.
Felt like I was [Gm] drunken.
City lights laid out
before [F] us.
And your arm felt nice right round my shoulder.
[Eb] And I had [F] a feeling
that I belonged.
[Eb] And I _ [F] had a feeling I could be someone.
[Eb] [F] Be someone.
[Bb] Be [Eb] someone.
[Bb] _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You got a fast car.
We go cruising and entertain ourselves.
You still ain't got
a job.
[Gm] And I work at [Bb] the market as a checkout [Eb] girl.
[Bb] I know things will get
better.
You'll find work and I'll get promoted.
We'll move out of the shelter.
[Gm] Buy a [Bb] bigger house and live [Eb] in the suburbs.

And I got a job that pays all our bills.
You stay out drinking
late at [Gm] the bar.
See more of your [Dm] friends than you [Bb] do your kids.
I'd always hope for
better.
[Gm] Thought maybe together you [F] and me would [Eb] find it.
I got [Bb] no plans.
I ain't
going nowhere.
[Gm] So take your [F] fast car and keep [Eb] on driving.
