Lost Weekend chords by Wall Of Voodoo

[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                       D A D
"Yeah, I know--start your own business cleanin' swimming 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         D
She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial
E                                           F#m                  A     D F
She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile
