Verse
C Em
She got on a plane
Am
Took off bound for Santa Fe
C Em Am
Touched down on the edge of another world
C Em
Made a few mistakes
Am
And it's kind of hard to fuck the pain away
C Em Am
Hooked on amphetamine and pearls
[Chorus 1]
F G
Hey she drove off into the sunset
C Em Am
Drinkin’ pinot, singin' 'Livin on a Prayer'
F G
Hey when all her childhood dreams get put to rest
C Em Am
Maybe in another life she'll get somewhere
F G C
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
[Verse 2]
C Em
Captain on the team
Am
Quarterback on the varsity
C Em Am
Crowd goes wild he throws a touchdown
C Em
But graduation came
Am
He lost his number but he kept his name now he’s
C Em Am
Pumpin’ gas at the Texaco downtown
[Chorus 2]
F G
Hey he drove off into the sunset
C Em Am
Drinking Bud Light, singin 'Livin on a Prayer'
F G
Hey when all his childhood dreams get put to rest
C Em Am
Maybe in another life he'll get somewhere
F G C
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
[Verse 3]
C Em
Now I’m singing a song for you
Am
About a childhood dream that won't come true
F G C
But I’m somewhere out in the Midwest chasin' mine
C Em
So if you're feelin’ blue
Am
I’ll light up a match for you
F G C
And we'll send the world up in smoke tonight
[Chorus 3]
F G
Hey we’ll drive off into the sunset
C Em Am
Drinkin’ whiskey singin' 'Livin' on a Prayer'
F G
Hey when all of our childhood dreams get put to rest
C Em Am
Maybe in another life we'll get somewhere
F G C
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
F G C
In the end we all burn out like cigarettes
F G C
In the end we all burn out like a cigarette
