Eb F Eb F

VERSE 1:

Eb F Bb

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling,

F

Way down in the valley tonight.

Eb F Am

There'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 (Fill)

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

F C

Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,

Dm Bb/D

Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter.

Bb/D C Bb/C C Bb/C

He was starting to foam in the heat.

BRIDGE 1:

Bb C

Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world,

F Bb

That's pure and good and right.

Bb C

And wherever you are and wherever you go,

Bb Bb/C F

There's always gonna be some light.

Bb C

But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now,

Dm Bb (Fill)

Before the final crack of dawn.

F C

So we gotta make the most of our one night together.

Bb Bb C Bb/C C Bb/C C

When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone.

CHORUS 1:

F Bb F (Fill)

Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes.

F Am

When the night is over, like a bat out of hell,

Bb Am Gm (Fill)

I'll be gone, gone, gone.

F C Bb

Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes.

(Slower)

Bb C Bb/D C/E F C

But when the day is done and the sun goes down,

Bb Bb F/A Gm7 F/A Bb C

And moonlight's shining through.

LINK 1:

(Calmer)

F Am/E Dm F/C

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

Bb Bb/A Gm7 Bb C Bb C

I'll come crawling on back to you.

VERSE 2:

(A Tempo)

F Bb

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram,

F (Fill)

On a silver black phantom bike.

F Am

When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry,

Bb (Fill)

And we're all about to see the light.

F C

Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,

Dm C Bb (Fill)

Everything is stunted and lost.

F C

And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls,

Bb Bb/C F

And nothing's ever worth the cost.

BRIDGE 2:

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 (Fill)

But with every other beat I 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 wanna be damned,

Bb C F

Dancing through the night with you.

F C

If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.

F Bb9

Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.

F C

If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned.

Bb C

Dancing through the night,

Bb C

Dancing through the night,

Bb C F F (Gliss.)

Dancing through the night with you.
