[D] [A]
[E] [D] [A]
You get a fast car.
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together [E] we can get somewhere [A] any place is better
Starting [E] from zero got nothing [A] to lose.
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself.
I got nothing to prove
You get a fast car [E] I got a plan to get us out of [A] here been working 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 living
See
[D] [A]
my old man's got a problem
Deal with the bottle.
That's the way it is.
He says but it's too old for working
But it's too young to look like it when mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life that he could give us there's somebody's got to take care of him.
I quit school.
That's what I do
You get a fast car is it fast enough so we can fly away you gotta make a decision
Eve [E] tonight a little die [A] this way
So remember [D] when we were driving driving in your [A] car speed so fast like I was [F#m] drunk
[E]
[D] [F#m] I
Had [E] a feeling
[F#m] [E] I could be [D] someone [E] be someone be [D] someone
[A] You get a fast car
You go cruising entertain ourselves
Still ain't got a job
Now [C#m] work in the market as a checkout [A] girl.
I know things will get better
You'll [E] find working out get [A] promoted and we'll move out of the shelter buy a bigger [E] house and live in the [A] suburbs
So remember when [D] we were driving driving in your [A] car speed so fast like I was drunk
[F#m] City lights lay out [E] before your arms on my [D] shoulder
[F#m] Had [E] a feeling that I [F#m] belong I
[E] Had a feeling I could be someone [D] be [E] someone be someone
[D] [A]
You get a fast car
I got a job days all our bills
Still drinking and say that the boss and [E] more your friends and you do your [A] kids
I'd always hope for better, but [C#m] maybe together you and [A] me find it.
They've got no plans ain't going nowhere
Take a fast car and keep on driving
You
Get a fast car
Fast enough so you can fly away.
You gotta make a decision
Eve [E] tonight would have been died [D] this way
[A] [D] [A]
