Bat Out of Hell

(Eb)The (F)sirens are screaming, and the (Bb)fires are howling way (F)down in the valley tonight.

(Eb)There's a (F)man in the shadows with a (Am)gun in his eye,

and a (Bb)blade shining oh so bright.

There's (F)evil in the air and there's (C)thunder in the sky,

and a (Dm)killer's on the (C)bloodshot (Bb)streets.

And (F)down in the tunnel where the (C)deadly are rising,

oh, I (Dm)swear I saw a young boy (Bb)down in the gutter,

he was starting to foam in the heat.

(C)Oh, (Bb)baby, you're the only thing in (C)this whole world that's (F)pure and good and (Bb)right.

And wherever you are,

and (C)wherever you go,

there's (Bb)always gonna (C)be some (F)light.

But I (Bb)gotta get out, I gotta (C)break it out now,

(Dm)before the final crack of (Bb)dawn.

So we (F)gotta make the most of our (C)one night together,

when it's (Bb)over you know,

we'll both be so alone.

(C)Like a (F)bat out of hell,

I'll be gone (Bb)when the morning comes.

(F)When the night is over, like a (Am)bat out of hell,

I'll be (Bb)gone, (Am)gone,

(Gm)gone. Like a (F)bat out of hell,

I'll be gone (C)when the morning (Bb)comes.

But (C)when the (F)day is done and the (C)sun goes down,

and the (Bb)moonlight's shining (Gm)through...

(C)Then like a (F)sinner (Am)before the (Dm)gates of (F)heaven,

I'll come (Bb)crawling on back to (Gm7)you.

(C)I'm (F)gonna hit the highway like a (Bb)battering ram on a (F)silver black phantom bike.

When the metal is hot and the (Am)engine is hungry,

and we're (Bb)all about to see the light.

(F)Nothing ever grows in this (C)rotting old hole,

and (Dm)ev'rything is stunted and (Bb)lost.

And (F)nothing really rocks and (C)nothing really rolls,

and (Bb)nothing's ever (C)worth the cost.

(F)And I (Bb)know that I'm damned (C)if I (F)never get out,

and (Bb)maybe I'm damned (C)if I do.

(F)But with (Bb)ev'ry other (C)beat I got (Dm)left in my heart,

you know I'd (Bb)rather be damned (C)with (F)you.

If I gotta be damned, you know I (C)wanna be damned,

(Bb)dancing through the (C)night with you.
