Capo II

C  G  Em  D4 (x4)

 C         G
You got a fast car
Em           D4
I want a ticket to anywhere
 C                G
Maybe we make a deal
 Em             D4
Maybe together we can get somewhere
C             G
Any place is better
  Em                 D4
Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
 C                G
Maybe we'll make somethin'
 Em            D4
Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove

C  G  Em  D4 (x2)

 C         G
You got a fast car
Em           D4
I got a plan    to get us outta here

(Page 1/6)

     C               G
And work another convenience store
 Em              D4
Managed to save just a little bit of money
 C                   G
Won't have to drive too far
        Em             D4
Just across the border and into the city
 C         G
You and I can both get jobs
 Em           D4
Finally see what it means to be livin'

C  G  Em  D4 (x2)

      C            G
See, my old man's got a problem
 Em                      D4
He live in the bottle, that's the way it is
              C              G
He said: his body's too old for workin'
     Em              D4
His body's too young    to look like his
    C             G
So mama went off and left him
     Em                     D4
She wanted more from life than he could give

         C                G
I said: Somebody's gotta take care of him
   Em                  D4
So I quit school and that's what I did

C  G  Em  D4 (x2)

 C         G
You got a fast car
       Em             D4
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
 C             G
You gotta make a decision
  Em              D4
Leave tonight or live and die this way

C  G  Em  D4 (x2)

                             C
So I remember when we were drivin'

Drivin' in your car
  G
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
Em
   City lights lay out before us
         D
And your arm felt nice wrapped

(Page 3/6)

Around my shoulder
C  Em     D
I had a feelin' that I belonged
C  Em     D
I had a feelin' I could be someone
 C          D
Be someone,   be someone

C  G  Em  D4 (x2)

 C         G
You got a fast car
 Em             D4
We go cruisin', entertain ourselves
  C                G
Still ain't got a job
     Em                D4
Now work in the market as a checkout girl
C              G
I know things will get better
 Em              D4
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
    C                   G
And we'll move out of the shelter
 Em                D4
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

     Em
See more of your friends
  D4
Than you do your kids
C                 G
I'd always hoped for better
         Em         D4
Thought maybe together

You and me would find it
   C            G
I got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere
