Fast Car (CHORDS) by Tracy Chapman

[INTRO]
C G Em7 D

C                    G     Em7                 D
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere

C                        G      Em7                       D
Maybe we make a deal,Maybe together we can get somewhere

C                       G Em7                    D
Anyplace is better, Starting from zero got nothing to lose

C                                      G Em7                D
Maybe we'll make something, But me myself I got nothing to prove


 C                    G   Em7                      D
You got a fast car, And I got a plan to get us out of here

C                             G                          Em7                          D
I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money

C                         G                Em7                             D
We won't have to drive too far, Just 'cross the border and into the city

C                   G                  Em7                               D
You and I can both get jobs, And finally see what it means to be living


C                               G                   Em7                             D
You see my old man's got a problem, He live with the bottle that's the way it is

C                               G                    Em7                   D
He says his body's too old for working, I say his body's too young to look like his

C                               G            Em7                           D
My mama went off and left him, She wanted more from life than he could give

C                                G                        Em7                         D
I said somebody's got to take care of him, So I quit school and that's what I did


C                      G  Em7                          D
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so we can fly away

C                        G            Em7                    D
We gotta make a decision, We leave tonight or live and die this way


                           C9
I remember we were driving driving in your car

         G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

Em
City lights lay out before us

D
And your arm felt nice wrapped'round my shoulder

C   Em           D
And I had a feeling that I belonged

C Em             D                                     C                 D
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


C                      G Em7                      D
You got a fast car, And we go cruising to entertain ourselves

C                  G             Em7                           D
You still ain't got a job, And I work in a market as a checkout girl

C                  G                  Em7                        D
I know things will get better, You'll find work and I'll get promoted

C                    G                  Em7                       D
We'll move out of the shelter, Buy a big house and live in the suburbs


                           C9
I remember we were driving driving in your car

         G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

Em
City lights lay out before us

D
And your arm felt nice wrapped'round my shoulder

C   Em           D
And I had a feeling that I belonged

C Em             D                                     C                 D
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


C                      G Em7                     D
You got a fast car, And I got a job that pays all our bills

C                              G                   Em7                              D
You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more of your friends than you do of your kids

C                               G    Em7                                  D
I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it

C                   G                             Em7                             D
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, So take your fast car and keep on driving


C                      G Em7                                 D
You got a fast car, But is it fast enough so you can fly away

C                           G             Em7                       D
You gotta make a decision, You leave tonight or live and die this way
