Fast Car chords Tracy Chapman 1988 (Tracy Chapman album)*** Capo II ** [Intro] Cmaj7 G Em D x4 [Verse 1]

^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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 2]

^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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 3]

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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 4]

^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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D Cmaj7 G Em [Chorus]

^Em So I re^Cmember when: we were ^Em*driving, driving ^Cin your car, The ^Em*speed so fast I felt like ^CI was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay ^Cout before us And your ^Emarm felt nice wrapped '^Cround 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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 5]

^Cmaj7You got a fast ^Gcar. And ^Emwe go cruising to enter^Dtain ourselves; ^Cmaj7you still ain't got a ^Gjob And I ^Emwork in a market as a ^Dcheckout girl. ^Cmaj7I know things will get ^Gbetter: ^EmYou'll find work and ^DI'll get promoted, ^Cmaj7We'll move out of the ^Gshelter ^EmBuy a bigger house and ^Dlive in the suburbs.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D Cmaj7 G Em [Chorus]

^Em So I re^Cmember when: we were ^Emdriving, driving ^Cin your car, The ^Emspeed so fast I felt like ^CI was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay ^Cout before us And your ^Emarm felt nice wrapped '^Cround 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.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 6]

^Cmaj7You got a fast ^Gcar. And ^EmI got a job that ^Dpays all our bills. ^Cmaj7You stay out drinking ^Glate at the bar, You see ^Emmore your friends than you ^Ddo your kids. ^Cmaj7I'd always hoped for ^Gbetter, ^EmThought maybe together ^Dyou and me would find it, ^Cmaj7I got no plans I ain't ^Ggoing nowhere, so ^Emtake your fast car and ^Dkeep on driving.

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D Cmaj7 G Em [Chorus]

[Instrumental] Cmaj7 G Em D x2 [Verse 7]
