F            C
She got on a plane
Dm                 D#
Took off bound for Santa Fe
Bb                  C                    F
Touched down on the edge of another world
F             C
Made a few mistakes
         Dm              D#
And it's kind of hard to fuck the pain away
Bb          C             F
Hooked on amphetamine and pearls


[Chorus 1]
Bb            C
Hey she drove off into the sunset
         F               C          Dm
Drinking pinot, singin' 'Livin on a Prayer'
Bb               C
Hey when all her childhood dreams get put to rest
      F          C                   Dm
Maybe in another life she'll get somewhere
           Bb              C                  F
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes


[Verse 2]
F              C
Captain on the team
Dm                 D#
Quarterback on the varsity
Bb             C                 F
Crowd goes wild he throws a touchdown
    F          C
But graduation came
   Dm                     D#
He lost his number but he kept his name now he's
Bb                 C          F
Pumping gas at the Texaco downtown


[Chorus 2]
Bb           C
Hey he drove off into the sunset
         F                  C          Dm
Drinking Bud Light, singin 'Livin on a Prayer'
Bb               C
Hey when all his childhood dreams get put to rest
      F          C                  Dm
Maybe in another life he'll get somewhere
           Bb              C                  F
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes


[Verse 3]
        F                  C
Now I'm singing a song for you
        Dm                   D#
About a childhood dream that won't come true
        Bb                   C               F
But I'm somewhere out in the Midwest chasin' mine
   F*                C*
So if you're feeling blue
Dm*             D#*
I'll light up a match for you
         Bb*             C*                 F*
And we'll send the world up in smoke tonight


[Chorus 3]
Bb              C
Hey we'll drive off into the sunset
         F                C           Dm
Drinking whiskey singin' 'Livin' on a Prayer'
Bb                  C
Hey when all of our childhood dreams get put to rest
      F          C              Dm
Maybe in another life we'll get somewhere
           Bb              C                  F
But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes
       Bb              C                  F
In the end we all burn out like cigarettes
       Bb*             C*                  F*
In the end we all burn out like a cigarette
