Rythmique: Pluck

[Intro]
 
Fmaj7 C  Am G x4
 

[Verse 1]
 
Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
Am                 G
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Fmaj7           C
Maybe we make a deal,
Am                    G
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Fmaj7        C
Any place is better.
Am                      G
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Fmaj7            C
Maybe we'll make something,
Am               G
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Fmaj7 C  Am G x2
 

[Verse 2]

         Fmaj7              C
You see, my old man's got a problem
   Am                               G
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
   Fmaj7                       C
He says his body's too old for working,
    Am                  G
His body's too young to look like his.
   Fmaj7             C             Am                         G
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
         Fmaj7                  C
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
   Am                       G
So I quit school and that's what I did.
 

[Instrumental]
 
Fmaj7 C  Am G x2


[Chorus]
 
                    F                  F
 I remember we were driving, driving in your car,
C                    C
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am                 Am
   City lights lay out before us
G                     G
arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
F    C        G            G
I -- I had a feeling that I belonged
F    C        G                  G           F           G
I -- I   had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
          Am                    G
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Fmaj7             C
We gotta make a decision:
Am                        G
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
 

[Instrumental]
 
Fmaj7 C  Am G
Fmaj7 C  Am
 

[Chorus]
 
Am      F                    Am*              F
 So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
    Am*                       F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am              F
City lights lay out before us
         Am                     F
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
    F Am      G
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
    F Am      G                  Am          F           Am
And I   had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.

[Verse 5]
 
Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
    Am                     G
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Fmaj7                 C
you still ain't got a job
      Am                    G
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Fmaj7                  C
I know things will get better:
Am                   G
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Fmaj7                 C
We'll move out of the shelter
Am                     G

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.

[Verse 6]

Fmaj7          C
You got a fast car.
          Am                     G
But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
Fmaj7              C
You gotta make a decision:
Am                        G
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
 

[Chorus]
 
Am      F                    Am               F
 So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
    Am                        F
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Am              F
City lights lay out before us
         Am                     F
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
    F Am      G
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
    F Am      G                  Am          F           Am
And I   had a feeling I could -- be someone, be someone, be someone.
