Verse
A# Dm
She got on a plane
Gm
Took off bound for Santa Fe
A# Dm Gm
Touched down on the edge of another world
A# Dm
Made a few mistakes
Gm
And it's kind of hard to fuck the pain away
A# Dm Gm
Hooked on amphetamine and pearls
[Chorus 1]
D# F
Hey she drove off into the sunset
A# Dm Gm
Drinkin’ pinot, singin' 'Livin on a Prayer'
D# F
Hey when all her childhood dreams get put to rest
A# Dm Gm
Maybe in another life she'll get somewhere
D# F A#
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
[Verse 2]
A# Dm
Captain on the team
Gm
Quarterback on the varsity
A# Dm Gm
Crowd goes wild he throws a touchdown
A# Dm
But graduation came
Gm
He lost his number but he kept his name now he’s
A# Dm Gm
Pumpin’ gas at the Texaco downtown
[Chorus 2]
D# F
Hey he drove off into the sunset
A# Dm Gm
Drinking Bud Light, singin 'Livin on a Prayer'
D# F
Hey when all his childhood dreams get put to rest
A# Dm Gm
Maybe in another life he'll get somewhere

But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
[Verse 3]
A# Dm
Now I’m singing a song for you
Gm
About a childhood dream that won't come true
D# F A#
But I’m somewhere out in the Midwest chasin' mine
A# Dm
So if you're feelin’ blue
Gm
I’ll light up a match for you
D# F A#
And we'll send the world up in smoke tonight
[Chorus 3]
D# F
Hey we’ll drive off into the sunset
A# Dm Gm
Drinkin’ whiskey singin' 'Livin' on a Prayer'
D# F
Hey when all of our childhood dreams get put to rest
A# Dm Gm
Maybe in another life we'll get somewhere
D# F A#
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
D# F A#
In the end we all burn out like cigarettes
D# F A#
In the end we all burn out like a cigarette
