Oh ^ABaby youre the only thing in this w^Bhole world Thats p^Eure and good and r^Aight And ^Awherever you are and ^Bwherever you go Theres a^Always gonna be some l^Eight But I ^Agotta get out, I gotta ^Bbreak it out now C#m A (piano climb) Before the final crack of dawn

So we g^Eotta make the most of our ^Bone night together When its o^Aver you know Well both be so a^Blone ^A ^B ^A

^ELike a bat out of hell Ill be g^Aone when the morning co^Emes ^EWhen the night is over Like a ^G#mbat out of hell Ill be g^Aone go^F#mne gon^Ae ^ELike a bat out of hell Ill be g^Bone when the morning c^Aomes But when the ^Eday is done And the ^Bsun goes down A B G#m..

Oh I can see ^Amyself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever ^Egone And my s^Akin is raw but my soul is ripe

No ones gonna stop me now

I gotta make my e^Escape, But I ^Ccant s^Dtop thinking of y^Eou ^GAnd I never see the sudden ^Dcurve until its way too l^Eate

^GWell I never see the sudden ^Dcurve till its way too l^Eate (Crash)

Then Im d^Dying on the bottom of a p^Eit in the blazing s^F#mun ^DTorn and twisted and the ^Efoot of a burning ^F#mbike And I ^Gthink somebody some^Awhere must be tolling a ^Bmbell And the ^Dlast thing I ^Esee is my ^F#mheart still ^G7beating ^A B^F#reaking out of my body , And ^Bflying away Like a bat out of ^Ehell Then Im d^Gying at the bottom of a p^Ait in the blazing s^Bmun ^GTorn and twisted at the ^Afoot of a burning ^Bmbike And I^D think somebody some^Ewhere must be tolling a ^F#mbell ^GAnd the last thing I ^Asee is my ^Bmheart still ^Cbeating

Still beating, Still beating
