Long intro insert here
E A D - E A D - E A
D - E A
The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
D - E B
Theres a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
Theres evil in the air and theres thunder in the sky
And a killers on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy, Down in the gutter
A B A B (piano climb)
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh Baby youre the only thing in this whole world
Thats pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
Theres always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now
C#m A (piano climb)
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When its over you know
Well both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell
Ill be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
A B G#m.. A.. F#m.. A.. B..
And the moonlights shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
Ill come crawling on back to you
Strum
pattern
fast: /// / /// /
Im gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And were all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
Everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks, And nothing really rocks
And nothings ever worth the cost
And I know that Im damned if I never got out
And maybe Im damned if I do
C#m...
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
You know Id rather be damned with you
Well if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
Well if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night, Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
A B G#m.. A.. F#m.. A.. B..
And the moonlights shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of
heaven
Ill come crawling on, back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
Ill come crawling on, back to you

E ............................
A - E.. C - G.. C - D.. B..
Oh I can see myself tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe
No ones gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape,
But I cant stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve until its way too late
B, x3
Well I never see the sudden curve till its way too late
(Crash)
Slow
Then Im dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted and the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart still beating
Breaking out of my body , And flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Then Im dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart still beating
Still beating, Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
E x 4 fast B A
Like a bat out of hell
E x 4 fast B A
Like a bat out of hell
Slow it down
Like a bat out of hell
