Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf
Intro: [Bb] [C] x3
[C] The sirens are screaming and the [F] fires are howling, way [C] down in the valley tonight.
There’s a man in the shadows [Em]with a gun in his eye, and a [F] blade shining, oh, so bright.
There’s [C] evil in the air and there’s [G] thunder in the sky, And a [Am] killer’s on the
bloodshot [F] streets. [F] Oh, and [C] down in the tunnel where the [G] deadly are rising,
Oh, I [Dm] swear I saw a young boy, Down in the gutter, He was [F] starting to foam in the heat.
[G] [F] [G] [F]
[Chorus]
Oh, [F] Baby you’re the only thing in this [G] whole world, that’s [C] pure and good and [F] right,
And wher[F]ever you are and wh[G]erever you go, there’s [F]always gonna [G] be some[C] light.
But I [F] gotta get out, I gotta [G] break it out now,Be[Am]fore the final crack of [F] dawn. [F]
So we [C] gotta make the most of our [G] one night together,
When it’s [F] over, you know, we’ll both be so alone. [G] [F/G] [G] [F/G]
Like a [C]bat out of hell, I’ll [F] be gone when the morning [C] comes. When the [C] night is over,
Like [Em] a bat out of hell [F] I’ll be [Am7] gone, [Dm]gone, gone. Like a [C] bat out of hell
I’ll [G] be gone when the morning [F] comes. But when the [C] day is done, and the[G] sun goes
down, And the [F]moonlight’s [Dm] shi[Am7]ning through [Em] [F] [G]
Then like a [C] sinner [G6] before the [Am] gates of [G] heaven
I’ll come [F]crawling home [G] back to you. [Am]
[Verse 2]
I’m [C] gonna hit the highway [F] like a battering ram, on a [C] silver black phantom bike,
When the [C]metal is hot and [Em] the engine is hungry, and we’re [F] all about to see the light.
[C]Nothing ever grows in [G] this rotten old hole, [Am] everything is stunted and [F] lost.
And [C]nothing really rocks, and [G] nothing really rolls, and [F]nothing’s ever [G]worth the [C] cost.
And I [F] know that I’m [G] damned if I [C] never get out, and [F] maybe I’m [G] damned if I [C] do,
But with [F] every other [G] beat I got [Am] left in my heart, You know I’d [F] rather [G] be damned
with [C] you. Well, if I [C] gotta be damned, you know [G] I wanna be damned, [F]Dancing through
the [G] night with [C] you.
If I [C] gotta be damned, you know I [G] wanna be damned.
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [F] wanna be damned,
[C] Gotta be damned, you know, I [G] wanna be damned,
[F]Dancing through the [G] night [F], dancing through the [G] night,
[F] Dancing through the [G] night with [C] you.

Chorus:
[C] [D] [G] [G] | [C] [D] [G] [G] | [G] [F/G] [G] [F/G] | [G] [F/G] [G] [F/G]
Oh I can [C] see myself tearing up the road, faster than any other boy has ever [G] gone.
And my [C] skin is raw but my soul is ripe, and no one’s gonna stop me now, I gotta make
my [G] escape. But I [Bb] can’t stop [F] thinking of [G] you, and I [Bb] never see the
sudden [F] curve until its way too [G] late.
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
And I [Bb] never see the sudden [F] curve until its way too [G] late. Then I’m [F] dying at the
bottom of a [G] pit in the blazing [Am] sun, [F]torn and twisted at the [G] foot of a
burning [Am] bike. And I [Bb] think somebody some[C]where must be tolling a [Am] bell,
And the [Bb] last thing I see [C] is my [Am] heart still [Bb]beating, still beating,
But breaking [A] out of my body and flying away [A],
Like a bat out of [D] hell, [A] [G] x3
Like a bat out of [D] hell
