Dmaj7           A
You got a fast car.
F#m                E
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Dmaj7            A
Maybe we make a deal,
F#m                    E
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Dmaj7         A
Any place is better.
  F#m                    E
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Dmaj7             A
Maybe we'll make something,
F#m               E
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Dmaj7           A
You got a fast car
F#m              E
I got a plan to get us outta here
        Dmaj7             A
I been working at the convenience store
F#m                     E
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Dmaj7                    A
Won't have to drive too far
       F#m                 E
Just 'cross the border and into the city
Dmaj7          A
You and I can both get jobs
 F#m                 E
Finally see what it means to be living

      Dmaj7               A
See, my old man's got a problem
F#m                                 E
He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is
            Dmaj7               A
He says his body's too old for working
    F#m                  E
His body's too young to look like his
     Dmaj7              A
When mama went off and left him
     F#m                        E
She wanted more from life than he could give
         Dmaj7                  A
I said, "Somebody's gotta take care of him"
   F#m                         E
So I quit school, and that's what I did

Dmaj7           A
You got a fast car.
          F#m                     E
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Dmaj7              A
We gotta make a decision:
F#m                        E
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Chorus:
     E                    D              D
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
      A                   A
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
F#m               F#m
  City lights lay out before us
         E                       E
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
    D F#m    E           E
And I had a feeling that I belonged
    D F#m    E               E
And I had a feeling I could be someone,
 D           E
Be someone, be someone.

Dmaj7           A
You got a fast car
F#m                   E
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
     Dmaj7             A
You still ain't got a job
      F#m                     E
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
Dmaj7                   A
I know things will get better
F#m                  E
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
Dmaj7                   A
We'll move out of the shelter
F#m                     E
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
F#m               F#m
  City lights lay out before us
         E                       E
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.

You got a fast car
F#m                   E
I got a job that pays all our bills
     Dmaj7             A
You stay out drinkin' late at the bar
    F#m                            E
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
Dmaj7                 A
I'd always hoped for better
        F#m              E
Thought maybe together, you and me'd find it
  Dmaj7                  A
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
   F#m                     E
So take your fast car and keep on driving

And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
    D F#m      E           E
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
D F#m      E               E

Be someone, be someone
