Tracy Chapman - Fast car

^Cmaj7You got a fast ^Gcar. ^EmI want a ticket to ^Danywhere. ^Cmaj7Maybe we make a ^Gdeal, ^EmMaybe together we can ^Dget somewhere. ^Cmaj7Any place is ^Gbetter. ^EmStarting from zero, got ^Dnothing to lose. ^Cmaj7Maybe we'll make ^Gsomething, ^EmMe myself, I got ^Dnothing to prove.

^Cmaj7You got a fast ^Gcar. ^EmI got a plan to ^Dget us out of here: ^Cmaj7I been working at the ^Gconvenience store, ^EmManaged to save just a ^Dlittle bit of money. ^Cmaj7Won't have to drive too ^Gfar ^EmJust 'cross the border and ^Dinto the city, ^Cmaj7You and I can ^Gboth get jobs And ^Emfinally see what it ^Dmeans to be living.

You see, ^Cmaj7my old man's got a ^Gproblem: He ^Emlive with the bottle, that’s the ^Dway it is. He ^Cmaj7says his body's too old for ^Gworking, His ^Embody's too young to ^Dlook like his. My ^Cmaj7mama went off and ^Gleft him, she ^Emwanted more from life than ^Dhe could give, I said, "^Cmaj7Somebody's got to take ^Gcare of him." So ^EmI quit school and that's ^Dwhat I did.

^Cmaj7You got a fast ^Gcar. But is it ^Emfast enough so we can ^Dfly away? ^Cmaj7We gotta make a de^Gcision: ^EmLeave tonight or live and ^Ddie this way.

^Cmaj7So I remember when: we were ^Cdriving, driving ^Gin your car, The ^Cspeed so fast I felt like ^GI was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay ^Cout before us And your ^Emarm felt nice wrapped '^Dround my shoulder. And ^CI ^Em had a ^Dfeeling that I belonged And ^CI ^Em had a ^Dfeeling I could -- ^Embe someone, ^Cbe someone, ^Embe someone.
