FAST CAR Guitar Chords and Lyrics TRACY CHAPMAN ~version 1~
CHORDS : Amaj7, E, C#m, B, AINTRO; Amaj7 E C#m B x4
Amaj7 E
You got a fast car.
C#m B
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Amaj7 E
Maybe we make a deal,
C#m B
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Amaj7 E
Any place is better.
C#m B
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Amaj7 E
Maybe we'll make something,
C#m B
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 E
You got a fast car.
C#m B
I got a plan to get us out of here:
Amaj7 E
I been working at the convenience store,
C#m B
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Amaj7 E
Won't have to drive too far
C#m B
Just 'cross the border and into the city,
Amaj7 E
You and I can both get jobs
C#m B
And finally see what it means to be living.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 E
You see, my old man's got a problem:
C#m B
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Amaj7 E
He says his body's too old for working,
C#m B
His body's too young to look like his.
Amaj7 E C#m B
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Amaj7 E
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
C#m B
So I quit school and that's what I did.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 E
You got a fast car.
C#m B
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Amaj7 E
We gotta make a decision:
C#m B
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 A E
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
A E
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
C#m A
City lights lay out before us
C#m B
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
A C#m B
And I had a feeling that I belonged
A C#m B C#m A C#m
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 E
You got a fast car.
C#m B
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Amaj7 E
you still ain't got a job
C#m B
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Amaj7 E
I know things will get better:
C#m B
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Amaj7 E
We'll move out of the shelter
C#m B
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 A E
So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
A E
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
C#m A
City lights lay out before us
C#m B
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
A C#m B
And I had a feeling that I belonged
A C#m B C#m A C#m
And I had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
Amaj7 E
You got a fast car.
C#m B
And I got a job that pays all our bills.
Amaj7 E
You stay out drinking late at the bar,
C#m B
You see more your friends than you do your kids.
Amaj7 E
I'd always hoped for better,
C#m B
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,
Amaj7 E
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
C#m B
so take your fast car and keep on driving.
Amaj7 E C#m B X2
