Artist: Wall Of Voodoo
[INTRO]
[A] [C#m] [E] [F#m] [D] (2x)
[VERSE 1]
[A]Drivin' outta Vegas in their [C#m]automobile
[E]She was in the back seat [F#m]while he was at the wheel
[D]With the windows wide open
[A]All the money from the store, [C#m]they'd gambled away
H[E]e said "the best laid plans [F#m]often go [D]astray"
[A]She took the page of a [C#m]book and turned it down
[E]She lit a cigarette, [F#m]she didn't make a sound [D]
"[E]And I know, if we'd had just one more [F#m]chance," he said [D]
"[E]I know, we'd finally hit the big one at [F#m]last", she said [D]
[CHORUS 1]
([D]Instead of) another lost weeken[A]d [F#m]
[F#m]Lost we[E]eke[F#m]nd
[F#m]Another lost [A]weekend [F#m]
[F#m]Lost [E]week[F#m]end [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[VERSE 2]
[A]"Pull over soon," she said, [C#m]"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]As she [A]slowly blew her smoke out the [C#m]rear wind vent
Sh[E]e thought back on all the letters [F#m]she'd sent
For a [D]contest to be on a quiz game show
"[E]Maybe I shoulda stayed in school," h[F#m]e said [D] [A]
"[E]Yeah, I know--start your own business cleanin' [F#m]swimming pools," she said [D] [A] [D]
[CHORUS 2]
[D](Instead of) another lost [A]weekend [F#m]
[F#m]Lost week[E]en[F#m]d
[F#m]Another lost [A]weekend [F#m]
[F#m]Lost week[E]en[F#m]d [D] [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[F#m]Another lost [A]weekend [F#m]
[F#m]Lost week[E]en[F#m]d
[F#m]Another lost [A]weekend [F#m]
[F#m]Lost week[E]en[F#m]d [A] [F#m] [E] [F#m]
[OUTRO]
[E]She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the [F#m]radio dial [D]
[E]She looked out the window, saw a sign, and b[F#m]oth of them began to [A]smile [D] [F]
[N.C.]"There's a place we can stay at... it's up another mile."
