Speed so [B] fast I felt like I was [F#m] drunk.
City lights lay out [B] before us and your arm
felt nice wrapped around my [D] shoulder.
And [F#m] I had [E]
a feeling that I [F#m] belonged. _ _
[B] I had a feeling I could be [D] someone, be [E] someone, be someone.

[D] You'll [E] find work and [G#] I'll get promoted.
