Intro: C G Em D x2

CYou got a fast Gcar.
EmI want a ticket to Danywhere.
CMaybe we make a Gdeal,
EmMaybe together we can Dget somewhere.

CAny place is Gbetter.
EmStarting from zero, got Dnothing to lose.
CMaybe weʼll make Gsomething,
EmMe myself, I got Dnothing to prove.

Instrumental: C G Em D

CYou got a fast Gcar.
EmI got a plan to Dget us out of here:
CI been working at the Gconvenience store,
EmManaged to save just a Dlittle bit of money.

CWonʼt have to drive too Gfar
EmJust ʼcross the border and Dinto the city,
CYou and I can Gboth get jobs
And Emfinally see what it Dmeans to be living.

Instrumental: C G Em D

You see, Cmy old manʼs got a Gproblem:
He Emlive with the bottle, that’s the Dway it is.
He Csays his bodyʼs too old for Gworking,
His Embodyʼs too young to Dlook like his.

My Cmama went off and Gleft him,
She Emwanted more from life than Dhe could give,
I said, «CSomebodyʼs got to take Gcare of him».
So EmI quit school and thatʼs Dwhat I did.

Instrumental: C G Em D

CYou got a fast Gcar.
But is it Emfast enough so we can Dfly away?
CStill gotta make a Gdecision:
EmLeave tonight or live and Ddie this way.

Instrumental: C G

Chorus:
    EmSo I reDmember when:
    We were Cdriving, driving in your car,
    The Gspeed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
    EmCity lights lay out before us
    And your Darm felt nice wrapped ʼround my shoulder.

    CAnd EmI had a Dfeeling that I belonged
    CAnd EmI had a Dfeeling I could be someone
    CBe someone, Dbe someone.

Instrumental: C G Em D

CYou got a fast Gcar.
And Emwe go cruising to enterDtain ourselves;
CYou still ainʼt got a Gjob
So I wEmork in a market as Am cDheckout girl.

CI know things will get Gbetter:
EmYouʼll find work and DIʼll get promoted,
CWeʼll move out of the Gshelter
EmBuy a bigger house and Dlive in the suburbs.

Instrumental: C G

Chorus:
    EmSo I reDmember when:

CYou got a fast Gcar.
And EmI got a job that Dpays all our bills.
CYou stay out drinking Glate at the bar,
You see Emmore your friends than you Ddo your kids.

CIʼd always hoped for Gbetter,
EmThought maybe together Dyou and me would find it,
CI got no plans I ainʼt Ggoing nowhere,
so Emtake your fast car and Dkeep on driving.
