(Eb)  F                            Bb/F
  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
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets

       F                            C
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising

     Dm
Oh I swear I saw a young boy

Bb/D                                               C  Bb/C C
Down in the gutter, he was starting to foam in the heat
[Pre-Chorus]
   Bb                             C               
Oh Baby, 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                      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 Bb/C C 
We'll both be so alone
[Chorus]
       F 
Like a bat out of hell

        Bb                    F   
I'll be gone when the morning comes

     F
When the night is over

       Am                      Bb   Am   Gm
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone

       F
Like a bat out of hell 

        C                     Bb   Bb C 
I'll be gone when the morning comes

Dm    C/E      F
  But when the day is done

        C
And the sun goes down

    Bb  Dm/A    Bb/G Bb/F Gm     Am Bb C
And moonlight's shin-ing  through

(C)         F        Am/E     Dm       F/C
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven

          Bb          Gm/A    Gm7   Bb/D   C/E   Bb/D   C/E
I'll come crawling on back to you
[Verse 2]
    F                            Bb
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

     F
On a silver black phantom bike

         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 and

Dm                        Bb
Everything is stunted and lost

    F       
And nothing really rocks

    C
And nothing really rolls 

    Bb             C         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          Dm
But with every other beat I got left in my heart

C            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

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

F                          Bb
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
Dancing through the night with you

Am/D C/E  C F      C/E        Dm       F/C
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven 

          Bb          Gm/A    Gm7
I'll come crawling on back to you 

            F        Am/E     Dm       F/C
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven 

          Bb          Gm/A    Gm7
I'll come crawling on back to you

      Bb          Bbsus4        Bb
I can see myself tearing up the road 

Eb Bb        Eb/Bb Bb    C/Bb Bb   F           F F/Eb F/D 
Faster than any    other boy  has ever gone 

F/C    Bb                  Bbsus4 Bb
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe 

Bb
No one's gonna stop me now 

                  F
I gotta make my escape 

      Eb         Bb          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

And I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late

         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 flyin away 

C                    Fsus4   F
Like a bat out of hell 
[Verse]
         Ab                       Bb                 Cm

Ab                      Bb                Cm
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike

And the last thing I see is my heart 

      Dbsus2
Still beating, Still beating

Breaking out of my body and flyin away
