[Verse 1]
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 sky,
      Dm                   C    Bb
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.
Oh,
    F                            C
and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,
Oh,
  Dm
I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter,
                                    C
He was starting to foam in the heat.

[Pre Chorus]
Bb/C C Bb/C    Bb
           Oh, baby,
                         C
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           C             F
There's always gonna be some light.
      Bb
But I gotta get out,
        C
I gotta break it out now,
  Dm                     C     Bb
Before the final crack of dawn.
      F                             C
So we gotta make the most of our one night together.
          Bb
When it's over you know,
                       C
We'll both be so alone.
Bb/C C Bb/C       F
           Like a bat out of hell

[Chorus]
            Bb                       F
I'll be gone  when the morning comes.
When the night is over
       Am                      Bb  Am  Gm
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gonegonegone.
       F                           C                 Bb
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes.
             F
But when the day is done,
        C
and the sun goes down,
        Bb                  Gm      Am Bb
And the moonlight's shining through,

[Post Chorus]
C               F         F/E    Dm       C
 Then like a sinner before   the gates of heaven,
          Bb          Am      Gm
I'll come crawling on back to you.

[Verse 2]
Bb C Bb
C    F                            Bb
 I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
     F
On a silver black phantom bike.
Eb       F                    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                        Bb
And everything is stunted and lost.
    F
And nothing really rocks
       C
And nothing really rolls
       Bb                         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
But with every other beat
         Dm
I've got left in my heart,
             Bb              C         F
You know I'd rather be damned with you.
Well,
                                C
if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
   Bb               C              F
Dancing through the night with you.
Well,
                                C
if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
F
Gotta be damned,
           Bb
you know I wanna be damned
F
Gotta be damned,
           C
you know I wanna be damned
   Bb               C
Dancing through the night
Bb                  C
Dancing through the night
Bb                  C          F
Dancing through the night with you.

[Verse 3]
F      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.
No one's gonna stop me now,
                  F
I'm gonna make my escape.
      Eb         Ab              F
But I can't stop thinking of you,
      Ab                        Eb                   F
And I never see the sudden curve  until it's way too late.
C      Ab                        Eb                  F
 And I never see the sudden curve  'til it's way too late.

[Bridge 2]
         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
And the last thing I see is my heart
      Eb
Still beating,
         Gm                 Cm
Breaking out of my body and flying away,
C                       F
 Like a bat out of hell.
         Ab                       Bb                 Cm
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun.
Ab                      Bb                Cm
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike.
      Eb                 F                            Gm
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell.
        Ab           Bb        Cm
And the last thing I see is my heart
      Db
Still beating, still beating,
         C
Breaking out of my body and flying away,
Like a bat out of hell.
