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