-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
-5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 I want a ticket to anywhere
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
 Maybe we make a deal
-5 6  6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 Maybe together we can get somewhere
-6 6 7 -6 6 -5
 Anyplace is better
-5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 
 Starting from zero got nothing to lose
-6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
 Maybe we'll make something
-6 7 7 -6 -6 7 -6 6 -5
 Me, myself I got nothing to prove
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
-5 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
 I got a plan to get us out of here
-5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 
 I been working at the convenience store
-5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
 Managed to save just a little bit of money
-6 -6 -6 -6 -5 -5
 Won't have to drive too far
4 -5 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
 Just 'cross the border and into the city
-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
 You and I can both get jobs
-5 -6 -6 7 -6 -6 7 -6 -6 6 5
 And finally see what it means to be living
4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
You see my old man's got a problem
4 -5 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5 
 He live with the bottle that's the way it is
-5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4 4
 He says his body's too old for working
4 4 4 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 5
 His body's too young to look like his
-5 -6 -6 -6 -6 -5 6 -5
 My mama went off and left him
-5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 -5
 She wanted more from life than he could give
-6 -6 -6 7 7 -6 6 -5 -5
 I said somebody's got to take care of him
-5 -5 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5
 So I quit school and that's what I did
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
4 4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 Is it fast enough so we can fly away
-4 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4 -4 4
 We gotta make a decision
4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 Leave tonight or live and die this way
-6 -6 7 -6 6 6 -5 -5 
So remember we were driving,
-5 -5 5 -5 -5 
driving in your car
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 City lights lay out before us
4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
-5 7 -8 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -6
 I-------------had a feeling that I belonged
6 7 -8 -6 6 5 -5 6 -6 7 6 -5 6 -5 -5                 
 I----------- had a feeling I could be someone,
6 -5 -5  6 -5 -5
be someone, be someone
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
You got a fast car
4 4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 We go cruising to entertain ourselves
-4 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4 -4 4
 You still ain't got a job
-5 6  6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 I work in a market as a checkout girl
-6 6 7 -6 6 -5
 I know things will get better
-5 6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5
 You'll find work and I'll get promoted
-6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
 We'll move out of the shelter
4 -5 6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 -5
 Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
-6 -6 7 -6 6 6 -5 -5 
I remember we were driving,
-5 -5 5 -5 -5 
driving in your car
 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 City lights lay out before us
4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -5 -5
 And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
-5 7 -8 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -6
 I-------------had a feeling that I belonged
6 7 -8 -6 6 5 -5 6 -6 7 6 -5 6 -5 -5                 
 I----------- had a feeling I could be someone,
6 -5 -5  6 -5 -5
be someone, be someone
