[Intro]
[A] [C#m] [E] [F#m] [D] (2x)
[Verse 1]
[A] [C#m]
Drivin' outta Vegas in their automobile
[E] [F#m]
She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel
[D]
With the windows wide open
[A] [C#m]
All the money from the store, they'd gambled away
[E] [F#m] [D]
He said "the best laid plans often go astray"
[A] [C#m]
She took the page of a book and turned it down
[E] [F#m] [D]
She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound
[E] [F#m] [D]
"And I know, if we'd had just one more chance," he said
[E] [F#m] [D]
"I know, we'd finally hit the big one at last", she said
[Chorus 1]
[D] [A] [F#m]
(Instead of) another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
Another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[Verse 2]
[A] [C#m]
"Pull over soon," she said, "it's no big deal,
[E] [F#m]
You can take any exit that you happen to feel
[D]
Is the right one"
[D]
The right one
[D] [A] [C#m]
As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent
[E] [F#m]
She thought back on all the letters she'd sent
[D]
For a contest to be on a quiz game show
[E] [F#m] [D] [A]
"Maybe I shoulda stayed in school," he said
[E] [F#m]
"Yeah, I know--start your own business cleanin' swimming
[D] [A] [D]
pools," she said
[Chorus 2]
[D] [A] [F#m]
(Instead of) another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
Another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [D] [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
Another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[F#m] [A] [F#m]
Another lost weekend
[F#m] [E] [F#m] [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
Lost weekend
[Outro]
[E] [F#m]
She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial
[D]
[E] [F#m]
She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began
[A] [D] [F]
to smile

"There's a place we can stay at... it's up another mile."
