"Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
Standard tuning, no capo.
I use barre chords but you can use whatever.
D
Well, I remember every little thing
G
as if it happened only yesterday
C
Parking by the lake,
G D
and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl,
G
looking any better than you did
F#
And all the kids at school,
G A D
they were wishing they were me that night
Bb F C D
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
Bb F C D
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
G D A D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G D A D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G D
C'mon! Hold on tight!
G F A
C'mon! Hold on tight!
G A D A G
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
G D F#m G
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Em D Bm A F#m F#
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night (in the deep dark night)
G D A D
Paradise by the dashboard light
A
We're gonna go all the way tonight, we're gonna go all the way, tonight's the night...
A G
Stop right there!
A
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!
G
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
D
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
C G
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
A
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
G
Let me sleep on it,
D
baby, baby let me sleep on it
G
Let me sleep on it,
D C G D
and I'll give you my answer in the morning
I gotta know right now!
G
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you love me forever?
D Eb E
Will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it! Will you love me forever...
F
I couldn't take it any longer,
Lord I was crazed
C
And when the feeling came upon me,
F
like a tidal wave
C G
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave,
F G C
that I would love you to the end of time
F G C
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
C G C
So now I'm praying for the end of time,
F G C
to hurry up and arrive
C G Am
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you,
G
I don't think that I can really survive
F
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,
C G
(but God only knows what I can do right now)
C G C
I'm praying for the end of time,
Am
it's all that I can do
C G C F G C
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
F C G C
It was long ago and it was far away, (it never felt so good, it never felt so right)
F C G C G C G C
and it was so much better than it is today (and we were glowing like a metal on the edge
(of a knife)
F G C
Paradise
