Tracy Chapman - Fast car

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. ^Em I want a ticket to ^D anywhere. ^Cmaj7 Maybe we make a ^G deal, ^Em Maybe together we can ^D get somewhere. ^Cmaj7 Any place is ^Gbetter.^Em Starting from zero, got ^D nothing to lose. ^Cmaj7 Maybe we'll make ^G something, ^Em Me myself, I got ^D nothing to prove.

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. ^Em I got a plan to ^D get us out of here: ^Cmaj7 I been working at the con^Gvenience store, ^Em Managed to save just a ^Dlittle bit of money. ^Cmaj7 Won'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 th^De way 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, &^Cmaj7quot;Somebody's got to ^Gtake care of him." So ^EmI quit school and that's ^Dwhat I did.

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. But is it ^Emfast enough so we can ^Dfly away? ^Cmaj7 We 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.

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. And ^Em we go cruising to enter^Dtain ourselves; ^Cmaj7 you still ain't got a ^G job And I ^Em work in a market as a ^D checkout girl. ^Cmaj7 I know things will get ^G better: ^Em You'll find work and ^D I'll get promoted, ^Cmaj7 We'll move out of the ^G shelter ^Em Buy a bigger house and ^D live in the suburbs.

^Cmaj7 So I remember when: we were ^Cdriving, driving ^Gin your car, The ^C speed so fast I felt like ^GI was drunk, ^Em City lights lay ^Cout before us And your ^Emarm felt nice wrapped '^Dround my shoulder. And ^C I ^Em had a ^Dfeeling that I belonged And ^C I ^Em had a ^Dfeeling I could -- ^Embe someone, ^Cbe someone, ^Embe someone.

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. And ^EmI got a job that ^Dpays all our bills. ^Cmaj7 You stay out drinking ^Glate at the bar, You see ^Emmore your friends than you ^Ddo your kids. ^Cmaj7 I'd always hoped for ^Gbetter, ^EmThought maybe together ^Dyou and me would find it, ^Cmaj7 I got no plans I ain't ^Ggoing nowhere, so ^Emtake your fast car and ^Dkeep on driving.

^Cmaj7 So I remember when: we were ^Cdriving, driving ^Gin your car, The ^C speed so fast I felt like ^GI was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay ^Cout before us And your ^Em arm felt nice wrapped '^Dround my shoulder. And ^CI ^Em had a ^Dfeeling that I belonged And ^C I ^Em had a ^Dfeeling I could -- ^Embe someone, ^Cbe someone, ^Embe someone.

^Cmaj7 You got a fast ^Gcar. But is it ^Em fast enough so we can ^Dfly away? ^Cmaj7 We gotta make a de^Gcision: ^Em Leave tonight or live and ^Ddie this way.
