Meatloaf 1977 (Bat Out Of Hell) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_Out_of_Hell Capo III * G Em Am D G
G               Em
I was lost till you were found

Am                D
 But I never knew how far down

      G
I was falling,

         Em          C      D
before I reached the bottom

G               Em
 I was cold and you were fire

Am                D
 And I never knew how the pyre

         G
Could be burning,

       Em          C         D
on the edge of the ice field

            C          D      G
And the now chilly California wind,

   C                D       G
is blowing down our bodies again

         Am      Em         Am              G                 D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand

      C          Am     Em             G
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart

    Em               Am          D         Am
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart?

    Gm
And don't you hear me crying;

   Bb
Oh babe, don't go?

C
 And don't you hear me screaming;

D
 How was I to know? 

G                    C
I'm in the middle of nowhere,

D                    G
 near the end of the line

                        C
But there's a border to somewhere waiting,

D                         G
 and there's a tankful of time

                  C              D                       G
Oh, give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,

                C                  D               G
and take me to another land where, I don't have to stay

Em                D                C                 G
 And I'm going to need somebody to make me feel like you do

Em            D                   C
 And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Am                                                    D
 Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

Em              D
 For crying out loud,

           G
you know I love you

Em              D
 For crying out loud,

           G
you know I love you

Em              D
 For crying out loud,

           C    G   Em Am G D 
you know I love you

G                 Em
 I was damned and you were saved,

Am                D
 and I never knew how enslaved,

      G
I was kneeling;

       Em           C     D
in the chains of my master

G                  Em
 I could laugh but you could cry,

Am                D
 and I never knew just how high,

      G
I was flying;

         Em         C      D
ah, with you right above me

            C          D      G
And the now chilly California wind,

   C                D       G
is blowing down our bodies again

         Am      Em         Am              G                 D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand

      C          Am     Em             G
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart

    Em               Am          D         Am
And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart?

    Gm
And don't you hear me crying;

   Bb
Oh babe, don't go?

C
 And don't you hear me screaming;

D
 How was I to know?

                 C              D                       G
Oh give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,

                C                  D               G

 Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

Em              D
 For crying out loud,

           G
you know I love you

Em              D
 For crying out loud,

           G
you know I love you

Em             D
  For crying out loud,

           C    G   Em Am G D 
you know I love you

G
 For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry,

    Am
for giving me the answers when I'm asking you why,

C          D
 and my oh my,

           G
for that I thank you
For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold,
    Am
for giving me a child when my body is old,

C              D
 and don't you know,

           G
for that I need you?
For coming to my room when you know I'm alone,
    Am
for finding me a highway and driving me home,

C              D
 and you got to know,

           G
for that I serve you?
For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall,
    Am
for revving me up when I'm starting to stall,

C           D
 and all in all,

           G
for that I want you
For taking and for giving and for playing the game,
    Am
For praying for my future in the days that remain,

C   D
Oh, lord,

           G
for that I hold you

                Em
Ah, but most of all

               D
For crying out loud,

           G
for that I love you

                 Em
Who, but most of all,

               D
for crying out loud,

           G
for that I love you

                 Em
Who, but most of all,

               D
for crying out loud,

           G       G Em G Em
For that I love you

            Em         D
When you're crying out loud,

           C    G
You know I love you
