I'm ^Fgonna hit the highway like a ^Bbbattering ram On a ^Fsilver black phantom bike When the ^Fmetal is hot and the ^Amengine is hungry And we're ^Bball about to see the light

^FNothing ever grows in this ^Crotting old hole and ^DmEverything is stunted and ^Bblost And ^Fnothing really rocks And ^Cnothing really rolls And ^Bbnothing's ever ^Cworth the ^Fcost

And I ^Bbknow that I'm ^Cdamned if I ^Fnever get out And ^Bbmaybe I'm ^Cdamned if I d^Fo But with e^Bbvery other ^Cbeat I got ^Dmleft in my heart ^CYou know I'd ^Bbrather be ^Cdamned with ^Fyou

If I ^Fgotta be damned you know I ^Cwanna be damned D^Bbancing through the ^Cnight with y^Fou If I gotta be damned you know I ^Cwanna be damned ^FGotta be damned you know I ^Bbwanna be damned If I ^Fgotta be damned you know I ^Cwanna be damned D^Bbancing through the n^Cight D^Bbancing through the n^Cight D^Bbancing through the n^Cight with ^Fyou
