Verse:
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
Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter.
Bb C Bb C Bb
He was starting to foam in the heat.
Bridge:
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 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 Bb C
When it's over you know, we'll both be so alone.
Chorus:
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.

Bb C Bb C F C
But when the day is done and the sun goes down,

And moonlight's shining through.
Interlude:

F Am Dm F
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

I'll come crawling on back to you.
Verse:
-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 F
And nothing's ever worth the cost.
Bridge:
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.
