Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

A augmentedA C# minorC#m E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD (2x)


[Verse 1]

A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
Drivin' outta Vegas in their automobile
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel
D MajorD
With the windows wide open
A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
All the money from the store, they'd gambled away
 E MajorE              F# minorF#m   D MajorD
He said "the best laid plans often go astray"
A augmentedA           C# minorC#m
She took the page of a book and turned it down
E MajorE          F# minorF#m           D MajorD
She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound
 E MajorE                   F# minorF#m        D MajorD
"And I know, if we'd had just one more chance," he said
 E MajorE                    F# minorF#m       D MajorD
"I know, we'd finally hit the big one at last", she said

[Chorus 1]

 D MajorD               A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
(Instead of) another lost weekend
F# minorF#m  E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend
F# minorF#m     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Another lost weekend
F# minorF#m E MajorE  F# minorF#m  A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend


[Verse 2]

A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
"Pull over soon," she said, "it's no big deal,
E MajorE               F# minorF#m
You can take any exit that you happen to feel
D MajorD
Is the right one"
D MajorD
The right one
D MajorD   A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent
 E MajorE                 F# minorF#m
She thought back on all the letters she'd sent
   D MajorD
For a contest to be on a quiz game show
 E MajorE                  F# minorF#m  D MajorD A augmentedA
"Maybe I shoulda stayed in school," he said
 E MajorE                       F# minorF#m            D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
"Yeah, I know--start your own business cleanin' swimming pools," she said

[Chorus 2]

D MajorD             A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
(Instead of) another lost weekend
F# minorF#m   E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend
F# minorF#m     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Another lost weekend
F# minorF#m   E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend
F# minorF#m     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Another lost weekend
F# minorF#m   E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend
F# minorF#m     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Another lost weekend
F# minorF#m   E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE F# minorF#m
Lost weekend


[Outro]

E MajorE                          F# minorF#m     D MajorD
She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial
E MajorE                      F# minorF#m         A augmentedA   D MajorD FF
She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile
