Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd11
You see my old man's got a problem, lives with the bottle that's the way it is
Dmaj7 A F#m Eadd11
He says his body's too old for working, 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", I quit school and that's what I did.

CHORUS:
F#m Eadd11 D
I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
A F#m Eadd11 F#m
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk, City lights lay out before us
E
Your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
D F#m E
And I.... had a feeling that I belonged
D F#m E D E
And I.... had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone.
