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