Tracy Chapman

Capo II

Cmaj7 G  Em D x4

Cmaj7          GYou got a fast car.
Em                 DI want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7           GMaybe we make a deal,
Em                    DMaybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7        GAny place is better.
Em                      DStarting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7            GMaybe we'll make something,
Em               D     Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

Cmaj7          GYou got a fast car.
Em              DI got a plan to get us out of here:
Cmaj7                 GI been working at the convenience store,
Em                     DManaged to save just a little bit of money.
Cmaj7                   GWon't have to drive too far
Em                         DJust 'cross the border and into the city, 
Cmaj7         GYou and I can both get jobs
    Em                  DAnd finally see what it means to be living.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

         Cmaj7              GYou see, my old man's got a problem:
   Em                               DHe live with the bottle, that s the way it is.
   Cmaj7                       GHe says his body's too old for working,
    Em                  DHis body's too young to look like his.
   Cmaj7             G             Em                         DMy mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
         Cmaj7                  GI said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
   Em                       DSo I quit school and that's what I did.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

Cmaj7          GYou got a fast car.
          Em                    DBut is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7             GWe gotta make a decision:
Em                        DLeave tonight or live and die this way.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2
 
G    Em     D             C                GSo remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
    C                         GThe speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Em                    CCity lights lay out before us
         Em                     DAnd your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. 
    C Em      D  And I   had a feeling that I belonged
    C Em      D                  Em          G           EmAnd I   had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

Cmaj7          GYou got a fast car.
    Em                     DAnd we go cruising to entertain ourselves;

      Em                    DAnd I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Cmaj7                  GI know things will get better:
Em                   DYou'll find work and I'll get promoted, 
Cmaj7                 GWe'll move out of the shelter
Em                     DBuy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

        Em                         DYou see more your friends than you do your kids.
Cmaj7                GI'd always hoped for better,
Em                     DThought maybe together you and me would find it,
Cmaj7                  GI got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
