Eb F Bb
The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
F
Way Down in the valley tonight,
Eb F Am
Ther's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
Bb
And a Blade Shining oh so bright,
F C
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
Dm C Bb
And a killer on the bloodshot streets,
F C
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Bb
Oh, I sear I saw a young boy down in the gutter:
Bbmaj7 C C11 C C11
He was starting to foam in the heat.
Bb C
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
F Bb
That's pure and good and right
C
And wherever you are and wherever you go
Bb F
There's always gonna be some light
Bb C
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
Dm Bb
Before the final crack of Dawn.
F C
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
Bb C C11 C C11
When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone.
F
Like a bat out of hell
Bb F
I'll be gone when the morning comes.
When the night is over
Am Bb F/A Gm
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone.
F
Like a bat out of hell
C Bb
I'll be gone when the morning comes
F C
But when the day is Down and the sun goes down
Bb Gm Am Bb C
And the moonlight's shining through,
F Am Dm F
Then like a sinner, before, the gates of heaven
Bbmaj7 F/A Gm
I'll come crawling on back to you.
Bb C11 Bb C11
F Bb
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering man
F
On a silver black phantome bike,
Am
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
Bb
And we're all about to see the light
F C
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,
Dm C Bb
And everything is stuned and lost
F C
And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls
Bb C F
And nothing's ever worth the cost
Bb C F
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out,
Bb C F
And maybe I'm damned if I do,
Bb C Dm
But with every other beat I've got left in my heart,
Bb C F
You know I'd rather be damned with you.
F C
If I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Bb C F
Dancing through the night with you/
C
Well if I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned,
F Bb
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
F C
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Bb C Bb C
Dancing through the night, Dancing through the night,
Bb C F
Dancing through the night with you

Bb
I can see myself tearing up the road
F
Faster than any other boy has ever gone.
Bb
And my skin is raw, but my soul is ripe,
And no one's gonna stop me now,
F Eb Bb F
I'm gonna make my escape but I can't stop thinking of you,
Ab Eb F
And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late.

And I never see the sudden curve until it's way too late.
Eb F Gm
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun,
Eb F Gm
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike,
Ab Bb Cm
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
Eb F Gm Eb
And the last thing I see is my heart, still beating,
Gm Cm C
Breaking out of my body and flying away

Like a bat out of hell.
