Tracy Chapman - Fast car

^Gmaj7You got a fast ^Dcar. ^BmI want a ticket to ^Aanywhere. ^Gmaj7Maybe we make a ^Ddeal, ^BmMaybe together we can ^Aget somewhere. ^Gmaj7Any place is ^Dbetter. ^BmStarting from zero, got ^Anothing to lose. ^Gmaj7Maybe we'll make ^Dsomething, ^BmMe myself, I got ^Anothing to prove.

^Gmaj7You got a fast ^Dcar. ^BmI got a plan to ^Aget us out of here: ^Gmaj7I been working at the ^Dconvenience store, ^BmManaged to save just a ^Alittle bit of money. ^Gmaj7Won't have to drive too ^Dfar ^BmJust 'cross the border and ^Ainto the city, ^Gmaj7You and I can ^Dboth get jobs And ^Bmfinally see what it ^Ameans to be living.

You see, ^Gmaj7my old man's got a ^Dproblem: He ^Bmlive with the bottle, that’s th^Ae way it is. He ^Gmaj7says his body's too old for ^Dworking, His ^Bmbody's too young to ^Alook like his. My ^Gmaj7mama went off and ^Dleft him, she ^Bmwanted more from life than ^Ahe could give, I said, &^Gmaj7quot;Somebody's got to ^Dtake care of him." So ^BmI quit school and that's ^Awhat I did.

^Gmaj7You got a fast ^Dcar. But is it ^Bmfast enough so we can ^Afly away? ^Gmaj7We gotta make a de^Dcision: ^BmLeave tonight or live and ^Adie this way.

^Gmaj7So I remember when: we were ^Gdriving, driving ^Din your car, The ^Gspeed so fast I felt like ^DI was drunk, ^BmCity lights lay ^Gout before us And your ^Bmarm felt nice wrapped '^Around my shoulder. And ^GI ^Bm had a ^Afeeling that I belonged And ^GI ^Bm had a ^Afeeling I could -- ^Bmbe someone, ^Gbe someone, ^Bmbe someone.

^Gmaj7You got a fast ^Dcar. And ^Bmwe go cruising to enter^Atain ourselves; ^Gmaj7you still ain't got a ^Djob And I ^Bmwork in a market as a ^Acheckout girl. ^Gmaj7I know things will get ^Dbetter: ^BmYou'll find work and ^AI'll get promoted, ^Gmaj7We'll move out of the ^Dshelter ^BmBuy a bigger house and ^Alive in the suburbs.

^Gmaj7So I remember when: we were ^Gdriving, driving ^Din your car, The ^Gspeed so fast I felt like ^DI was drunk, ^BmCity lights lay ^Gout before us And your ^Bmarm felt nice wrapped '^Around my shoulder. And ^GI ^Bm had a ^Afeeling that I belonged And ^GI ^Bm had a ^Afeeling I could -- ^Bmbe someone, ^Gbe someone, ^Bmbe someone.

^Gmaj7You got a fast ^Dcar. And ^BmI got a job that ^Apays all our bills. ^Gmaj7You stay out drinking ^Dlate at the bar, You see ^Bmmore your friends than you ^Ado your kids. ^Gmaj7I'd always hoped for ^Dbetter, ^BmThought maybe together ^Ayou and me would find it, ^Gmaj7I got no plans I ain't ^Dgoing nowhere, so ^Bmtake your fast car and ^Akeep on driving.
