Intro:
Riff 1

Riff 1
You got a fast car,
I want a ticket to anywhere, Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere, Anyplace is better,
Starting from zero got nothing to lose, Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove

Riff 1, Riff 1
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here, Been working at the convenience store
Plan is to save just a little bit of money, Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city,You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living

Riff 1, Riff 1
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his, My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give, I said somebody's got to take
care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

Riff 1, Riff 1
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away, We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

1)No Capo   C
2)Capo 2nd Fret    D
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car,
 G       Em
 A                               F#m
The speed so fast I felt I was drunk, City lights lay out before us
 Dsus                       D
 Esus       E
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
C    Em      D          C
D    F#m  E   D
And I had a feeling that I belonged,
C    Em      D   C       Em
D    F#m  E   D       F#m
and I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Riff 1 (2 x)

Riff 1
You got a fast car
We go cruising entertain ourselves, You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl, I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted, We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs


(Chorus)

Riff 1, Riff 1
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills, You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids, I'd always hoped for
better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it, I got no plans I ain't
going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

(Chorus)
Riff 1, Riff 1
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away, You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
Riff 1, Riff 1-End
