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