VERSE 1:
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car,
Em Dadd11
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we make a deal,
Em Dadd11
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7 G
Any place is better.
Em Dadd11
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7 G
Maybe we'll make something,
Em Dadd11
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

VERSE 2:
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dadd11
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Cmaj7 G
I been working at the convenience store
Em Dadd11
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Cmaj7 G
We wont have to drive too far
Em Dadd11
Just cross the border and into the city
Cmaj7 G
You and I can both get jobs
Em Dadd11
And finally see what it means to be living

VERSE 3:
Cmaj7 G
You see my old man's got a problem
Em Dadd11
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
Cmaj7 G
He says his body's too old for working
Em Dadd11
His body's too young to look like his
Cmaj7 G
My mama went off and left him
Em Dadd11
She wanted more from life than he could give
Cmaj7 G
I said, "somebody's got to take care of him"
Em Dadd11
So I quit school and that's what I did

VERSE 4:
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car
Em Dadd11
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
Cmaj7 G
We gotta make a decision
Em Dadd11
We leave tonight or live and die this way

CHORUS 1:
Em Dadd11 C
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
Em
City lights lay out before us
D
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
C Em D
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D C D
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

And I work in a market as a checkout girl
Cmaj7 G
I know things will get better
Em Dadd11
You'll find work and I'll get promoted

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
