[Intro]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G x4


[Verse 1]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
You got a fast car.
Am Am G G
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
Maybe we make a deal,
Am Am G G
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
Any place is better.
Am Am G G
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
Maybe we'll make something,
Am Am G G
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.


[Instrumental]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G x2


[Verse 2]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
You see, my old man's got a problem
Am Am G G
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
He says his body's too old for working,
Am Am G G
His body's too young to look like his.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
Am Am G G
So I quit school and that's what I did.


[Instrumental]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G x2


[Chorus]

F F F F
I remember we were driving, driving in your car,
C C C C
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am Am Am Am
City lights lay out before us
G G G G
arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
F F C C G G G G
I -- I had a feeling that I belonged
F F C C G G G G F F G G
I -- I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.


[Verse 4]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
You got a fast car.
Am Am G G
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
We gotta make a decision:
Am Am G G
Leave tonight or live and die this way.


[Instrumental]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am


[Chorus]

Am Am F F Am Am* F F
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
Am Am* F F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am Am F F
City lights lay out before us
Am Am F F
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
F F Am Am G G
And I had a feeling that I belonged
F F Am Am G G Am Am F F Am Am
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.


[Instrumental]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C Am Am G G x2


[Verse 5]

Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
You got a fast car.
Am Am G G
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
you still ain't got a job
Am Am G G
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
I know things will get better:
Am Am G G
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C
We'll move out of the shelter
Am Am G G

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.


[Instrumental]

So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
