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