RE LA  FA#m MI


RE             LA
You got a fast car
FA#m            MI
I want a ticket to anywhere
RE              LA
Maybe we make a deal,
FA#m           MI
Maybe together we can get somewhere
RE           LA
Any place is better
FA#m                MI
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
RE               LA
Maybe we'll make something,
FA#m         MI     
Me myself, I got nothing to prove

RE LA  FA#m MI   RE LA  FA#m MI
 
RE           LA
You got a fast car
FA#m          MI
I got a plan to get us out of here
RE                    LA
I been working at the convenience store,
FA#m            MI
Managed to save just a little bit of money
RE                  LA
Won't have to drive too far
FA#m                   MI
Just 'cross the border and into the city, 
RE        LA
You and I can both get jobs
    FA#m             MI
And finally see what it means to be living

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m MI

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

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m MI

RE          LA
You got a fast car
          FA#m            MI
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
RE            LA
We gotta make a decision
FA#m                  MI
Leave tonight or live and die this way

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m MI 

     MI                    RE              
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car,
    LA
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
FA#m            
City lights lay out before us
         MI
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
    RE  FA#m  MI  
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
    RE  FA#m  MI                  
And I   had a feeling I could 
            RE         MI
be someone, be someone, be someone

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m MI

RE             LA
You got a fast car
    FA#m              MI
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
RE                    LA
you still ain't got a job
      FA#m                MI
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
RE                 LA
I know things will get better
FA#m          MI
You'll find work and I'll get promoted, 
RE                LA
We'll move out of the shelter
FA#m               MI
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m 

     MI                    RE

be someone, be someone, be someone

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m MI

RE             LA
You got a fast car
    FA#m           MI
And I got a job that pays all our bills
RE                  LA
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
        FA#m                   MI
You see more your friends than you do your kids
RE               LA
I'd always hoped for better,
FA#m                MI
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
RE                LA
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
   FA#m               MI
so take your fast car and keep on driving

RE LA  FA#m MI    RE LA  FA#m
