E      A    D -  E          A        D - E      A 
D - E                                             A 
    The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling 
          E 
    Way down in the valley tonight 
D - E                                   B 
    Theres a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye 
          A 
    And a blade shining oh so bright 
            E                           B 
    Theres evil in the air and theres thunder in the sky 
           C#m                      A 
    And a killers on the bloodshot streets 
           E                            B 
    Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising 
       A 
    Oh I swear I saw a young boy,    Down in the gutter 
           A                       B    A      B  (piano climb) 
    He was starting to foam in the heat 

       A                                  B 
    Oh Baby youre the only thing in this whole world 
           E                 A 
    Thats pure and good and right 
        A                    B 
    And wherever you are and wherever you go 
            A                    E 
    Theres always gonna be some light 
          A                      B 
    But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now 
           C#m                A  (piano climb) 
    Before the final crack of dawn 

           E                         B 
    So we gotta make the most of our one night together 
              A 
    When its over you know 
                     B     A    B   A 
    Well both be so alone 

    E 
    Like a bat out of hell 
            A                      E 
    Ill be gone when the morning comes 
    E 
    When the night is over 
           G#m                     A     F#m   A 
    Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone gone gone 
    E                              B                     A 
    Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes 
                 E 
    But when the day is done 
            B 
    And the sun goes down 
            A                   B      G#m.. A.. F#m.. A.. B.. 
    And the moonlights shining through 
                E      G#m        C#m      E 
    Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven 
              A           F#m   C#   A       F#m 
    Ill come crawling on back to you

    Im gonna hit the highway like a battering ram 
         E 
    On a silver black phantom bike 
             E                    G# 
    When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry 
             A 
    And were all about to see the light 
    E                          B 
    Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole 
    C#m                       A 
    Everything is stunted and lost 
        E                         B 
    And nothing really rocks, And nothing really rocks 
         A                       E 
    And nothings ever worth the cost 

           A            B                     E 
    And I know that Im ***ed if I never got out 
       A          B           E 
    And maybe Im ***ed if I do 
        A                B                  C#m... 
    But with every other beat I got left in my heart 
                 A         B           E 
    You know Id rather be ***ed with you 
               E                       B 
    Well if I gotta be ***ed you know I wanna be ***ed 
    A                   B          E 
    Dancing through the night with you 
            E                            B 
    Well if I gotta be ***ed you know I wanna be ***ed 
            E                  A 
    Gotta be ***ed you know I wanna be ***ed 
             E                 B 
    Gotta be ***ed you know I wanna be ***ed

    Dancing through the night, Dancing through the night

                 A 
    Oh I can see myself tearing up the road 
                                       E 
    Faster than any other boy has ever gone 
            A 
    And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe 

    No ones gonna stop me now 
                     E 
    I gotta make my escape, 
          C     D                E 
    But I cant stop thinking of you 
    G                          D                        E 
    And I never see the sudden curve until its way too late 

    E                B,         A       B x3 

    G                           D                       E

    Then Im dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun 
    D                        E                 F#m 
    Torn and twisted and the foot of a burning bike 
          G                  A                       Bm 
    And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell 
            D            E         F#m         G7      A 
    And the last thing I see is my heart still beating 
     F#                           B 
    Breaking out of my body , And flying away 
                      E 
    Like a bat out of hell 
             G                        A                  Bm 
    Then Im dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun 
    G                       A                 Bm 
    Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike 
         D                   E                       F#m 
    And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell 
    G                    A         Bm          C 
    And the last thing I see is my heart still beating 

    Still beating, Still beating 
    F#                          B 
    Breaking out of my body and flying away 
                      E  E      D       A
