Cmaj7 G* Maybe we'll make something, Em7 Dadd11 Me myself, I got nothing to prove. intro Verse 2 You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here: I been working at the convenience store, Managed to save just a little bit of money. Wont't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city, You and i can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living. Intro Verse 3 You see my old man's got a problem: He live with the bottle, thats the way it is. He says his body's too old for working, His body's too young to look like his. My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give, I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him." So I quit school and that's what I did. Intro Verse 4 You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision: Leave tonight or live and die this way.

INtro Verse 5 You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourelves; you still ain't fot a job And work in a market as a checkout girl. I know things will get better: You'll find work and I'll get promoted, We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs. Bridge Chorus Intro Verse 6 You got a fast car And i got a job that pays all our bills. You stay out drinking late at the bar, See more your friends than you do your kids. I'd always hoped for better, Thought maybe together you and me would find it, I got no plans i ain't going nowhere, so take your fast car and kep on driving. Bridge Chorus Intro Verse 7 You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision: Leave tonight or live and die this way. Intro Bridge End Enjoy! www.TAB6.com
