Fast Car(Chords)

	        

C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
Em                     D 
And I want a ticket to anywhere 
C7M            G 
Maybe we make a deal 
Em                     D 
Maybe together we can get somewhere 
C7M            G 
Any place is better 
Em                     D 
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose 
C7M               G 
Maybe we'll make somethin' 
Em                  D 
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove 

C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
Em                  D 
And I got a plan to get us outta here 
C7M                         G 
I've been workin' at the convenience store 
Em                  D 
Managed to save just a little bit of money 
C7M            G 
Won't have to drive too far 
Em                  D 
Just across the border and into the city 
C7M                 G 
And you and I can both get jobs 
Em                  D 
Finally see what it means to be livin' 

C7M                 G 
See, my old man's got a problem 
Em                  D 
He live in the bottle, that's the way it is 
C7M                    G 
He said his body's too old for workin' 
Em                  D 
His body's too young to look like his 
C7M                G 
So mama went off and left him 
Em                  D 
She wanted more from life than he could give 
C7M                      G 
I said: Somebody's gotta take care of him 
Em                  D 
So I quit school and that's what I did 

C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
Em                  D 
Is it fast enough so we can fly away? 
C7M            G 
Still gotta make a decision 
Em                  D 
Leave tonight or live and die this way 

D                           C 
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car 
G 
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk 
Em 
City lights lay out before us 
           D 
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder 
    C Em     D 
And I had a feelin' that I belonged 
C Em     D 
I had a feelin' I could be someone 
C           D 
Be someone, be someone 

C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
 Em                  D 
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves 
C7M            G 
You still ain't got a job 
Em                  D 
So I work in the market as a checkout girl 
C7M               G 
I know things will get better 
Em                  D 
You'll find work and I'll get promoted 
 C7M                 G 
And we'll move out of the shelter 
Em                  D 
Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs 

D                           C 
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car 
G 
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk 
Em 
City lights lay out before us 
           D 
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder 
    C Em     D 
And I had a feelin' that I belonged 
C Em     D 
I had a feelin' I could be someone 
C           D 
Be someone, be someone 

 C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
 Em                  D 
I got a job that pays all our bills 
 C7M                   G 
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar 
  Em                  D 
See more of your friends than you do your kids 
 C7M            G 
I'd always hoped for better 
  Em                  D 
Thought maybe together you and me would find it 
 C7M            G 
I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere 
 Em                  D 
Take your fast car and keep on drivin' 

D                           C 
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car 
G 
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk 
Em 
City lights lay out before us 
           D 
And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder 
    C Em     D 
And I had a feelin' that I belonged 
C Em     D 
I had a feelin' I could be someone 
C           D 
Be someone, be someone 

C7M            G 
You got a fast car 
 Em                  D 
Is it fast enough so we can fly away? 
C7M            G 
Still gotta make a decision 
 Em                  D 
Leave tonight or live and die this way
