[Intro 1]
[C][D][C][D][C]
[D][G][C]
[D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[D]Sirens are screaming,
and the [G]fires are howling
Way [D]down in the valley tonight
[C]There's a [D]man in the shadows
with a gun in his eye
And a [G]blade shining oh so bright
There's [D]evil in the air
and there's [A]thunder in the sky
And a [Bm]killer's on the bloodshot [G]streets
And [D]down in the tunnels
where the [A]deadly are rising
Oh, I [G]swear I saw a young boy
down in the gutter
He was starting to foam
in the [A]heat[G][A]

[Pre-chorus 1]
Oh, [G]baby you're the only thing in
[A]this whole world
That's [D]pure and good and [G]right
And wherever you are and wher[A]ever you go
There's [G]always gonna [A]be some [D]light
But I [G]gotta get out, I gotta [A]break it out now
Be[Bm]fore the final crack of [G]dawn
So we [D]gotta make the most of our
[A]one night together
When it's [G]over, you know
We'll both be so a[A]lone[G][A]

[Chorus 1]
Like a [D]bat out of hell,
I'll be [G]gone when the morning [D]comes
Oh, when the night is over,
like a [F#m]bat out of hell
I'll be [G]gone, [F#m]gone, [Em]gone
Like a [D]bat out of hell
I'll be [A]gone
when the morning [G]comes
But when the [D]day is done
And the [A]sun goes down
And the [G]moonlight's
shining [Em]through[F#m][G][A]

[Bridge 1]
Then like a [D]sinner
[F#m]before the [Bm]gates of [D]Heaven
I'll come [G]crawling on [F#m]back to y[Em]ou
[G][A][G][A]

[Verse 2]
I'm [D]gonna hit the highway
like a [G]battering ram
On a [D]silver-black phantom bike
When the metal is hot,
and the [F#m]engine is hungry
And we're [G]all about to see the light
[D]Nothing ever grows in this [A]rotting old hole
And [Bm]everything is stunted and [G]lost
And [D]nothing really rocks,
and [A]nothing really rolls
And [G]nothing's ever [A]worth the [D]cost

[Interlude 1]
Well I [G]know that I'm [A]damned
if I [D]never get out
And [G]maybe I'm [A]damned if I [D]do
But with [G]every other [A]beat
I've got [Bm]left in my heart
You know I'd [G]rather be [A]damned with [D]you
Well, if I gotta be damned,
you know I [A]want to be damned
[G]Dancing through the [A]night with [D]you
Well, if I gotta be damned,
you know I [A]want to be damned
[D]Gotta be damned,
you know I [G]want to be damned
[D]Gotta be damned,
you know I [A]want to be damned
[G]Dancing through the [A]night
[G]Dancing through the [A]night
[G]Dancing through the [A]night with [D]you

But I [G]gotta get out, I gotta [A]break it out now
[Bm]Before the final crack of [G]dawn
So we [D]gotta make the most of our
[A]one night together
When it's [G]over, you know
We'll both be so a[A]lone[G][A]

[Chorus 2]
Like a [D]bat out of hell,
I'll be [G]gone when the morning [D]comes
Oh, when the night is over,
like a [F#m]bat out of hell
I'll be [G]gone, [F#m]gone, [Em]gone
Like a [D]bat out of hell
I'll be [A]gone
when the morning [G]comes
But when the [D]day is done
And the [A]sun goes down
And the [G]moonlight's
shining [Em]through[F#m][G][A]

[Bridge 2]
Then like a [D]sinner
[F#m]before the [Bm]gates of [D]Heaven
I'll come [G]crawling on [F#m]back to y[Em]ou
Then like a [D]sinner
[F#m]before the [Bm]gates of [D]Heaven
I'll come [G]crawling on [F#m]back to y[Em]ou
