Fast Car

Capo: 1st fret Intro Cmaj7 G Em D (x4) [Verse 1] Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. 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. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D [Verse 2] 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. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D [Verse 3] 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. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D [Verse 4] Cmaj7 G You got a fast car. Em D But is it fast enough so we can fly away? Cmaj7 G Still gotta make a decision: Em D Leave tonight or live and die this way. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D Chorus Cmaj7 So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, G The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, Em City lights lay out before us D And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. Cmaj7 G Em D And I had a feeling that I belonged Cmaj7 G Em D Em D And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D [Verse 5] 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 So 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. [Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D Chorus Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car, Em Cmaj7 The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, Em Cmaj7 City lights lay out before us Em Cmaj7 And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
