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