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