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