Em D I want a ticket to anywhere. Cmaj7 G Maybe we make a deal, Em D Maybe together we can get somewhere. Cmaj7 G Any place is better. Em D Starting from zero, got nothing to lose. Cmaj7 G Maybe we'll make something, Em D Me myself, I got nothing to prove. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D I got a plan to get us out of here: Cmaj7 G I been working at the convenience store, Em D Managed to save just a little bit of money. Cmaj7 G Won't have to drive too far Em D Just 'cross the border and into the city, Cmaj7 G You and I can both get jobs Em D And finally see what it means to be living. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You see, my old man's got a problem: Em D He live with the bottle, that s the way it is. Cmaj7 G He says his body's too old for working, Em D His body's too young to look like his. Cmaj7 G Em D My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give, Cmaj7 G I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him." Em D So I quit school and that's what I did. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D But is it fast enough so we can fly away? Cmaj7 G We gotta make a decision: Em D Leave tonight or live and die this way. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 G Em D C G So remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, C G The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, Em C City lights lay out before us Em D And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. C Em D And I had a feeling that I belonged C Em D Em G Em And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D And we go cruising to entertain ourselves; Cmaj7 G you still ain't got a job Em D And I work in a market as a checkout girl. Cmaj7 G I know things will get better: Em D You'll find work and I'll get promoted, Cmaj7 G We'll move out of the shelter Em D Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 G Em D C G So remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, C G The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, Em C City lights lay out before us Em D And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. C Em D And I had a feeling that I belonged C Em D Em G Em And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D And I got a job that pays all our bills. Cmaj7 G You stay out drinking late at the bar, Em D You see more your friends than you do your kids. Cmaj7 G I'd always hoped for better, Em D Thought maybe together you and me would find it, Cmaj7 G I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, Em D so take your fast car and keep on driving. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 G Em D C G So remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, C G The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, Em C City lights lay out before us Em D And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. C Em D And I had a feeling that I belonged C Em D Em G Em And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone. Cmaj7 G Em D X2 Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D But is it fast enough so we can fly away? Cmaj7 G We gotta make a decision: Em D Leave tonight or live and die this way.
