Lost Weekend

A C#m E F#m D  (2x)


[Verse 1]

A                          
Drivin' outta Vegas in their 
  C#m
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  
He said "the best laid plans often
    D
 go astray"
A                      C#m
She took the page of a book and 
turned it down
E                    F#m         
She lit a cigarette, she didn't 
            D
make a sound
 E                               
"And I know, if we'd had just one 
      F#m               D
more chance," he said
 E                               
"I know, we'd finally hit the big 
        F#m             D
one at last", she said


[Chorus 1]

 D                              A 
(Instead of) another lost weekend
    F#m

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                              
You can take any exit that you 
F#m
happen to feel
D
Is the right one"
D
The right one
D      A                         
As she slowly blew her smoke out 
    C#m
the rear wind vent
  E                                
She thought back on all the letters
 F#m
 she'd sent
      D
For a contest to be on a quiz game 
show
 E                                 
"Maybe I shoulda stayed in school,"
  F#m    D A
 he said
 E                           
"Yeah, I know--start your own 
                   F#m             
business cleanin' swimming pools," 
          D A D
she said


[Chorus 2]

D                         A       
(Instead of) another lost weekend
F#m

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

E                                 
She leaned over the front seat and
                   F#m         D
 twiddled with the radio dial
E                              
She looked out the window, saw a 
             F#m               
sign, and both of them began to 
   A     D F
smile
N.C.
"There's a place we can stay at... 
it's up another mile."
