Fast Car

[Intro] C  G  Em7  D

C              G     Em7                 D
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
C              G     Em7            D
Maybe we make a deal,Maybe together we can get somewhere
C           G       Em7               D
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose
C                G        Em7                D
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove

C              G    Em7                 D
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here
C                 G                Em7                   D
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money
C               G              Em7                   D
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city
C            G              Em7                      D
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living

C                    G             Em7                   D
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is
C                   G                Em7             D
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his
C                 G            Em7                D
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give
C                   G                  Em7                   D
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did

C                G  Em7                    D
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away
C             G          Em7            D
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way

               C9
I remember 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

C               G   Em7              D
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
C               G          Em7                  D
You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl
C            G                Em7                 D
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted
C           G                Em7               D
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

               C9

You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills
C                     G               Em7                   D
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids
C                     G    Em7                    D
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it
C              G                     Em7                  D
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving

C               G  Em7                         D
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away
C                G         Em7                  D
You gotta make a decision, You leave tonight or live and die this way
