[D] [Dsus4] [D] 

{c:Meat Loaf}
Well, I re-[D]member every little thing,
as if it happened only [G]yesterday.
[C]Parking by the lake,
and there was [G]not another car in [D]sight.

And I never had a girl,
Looking any better than [G]you did.
And all the [F#]kids at school,
They were [G]wishing they were [A]me that [D]night.

{c:Both}
And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight,
It never [Bb]felt so [F]good, it never [C]felt so [D]right,
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife,
[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife,

{c:Meat Loaf}
C'[G]mon! Hold on [D]tight!
C'[G]mon! Hold on [F]tight!  [A] 

{c:Both}
Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep [A]dark [G]night,
I can [D]see para-[Bm]dise by the [G]dash-[Em]board [D]light.

{c:Karla DeVito}
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a-[D]bout it, we were [A]doubly [G]blessed,
'Cause we were [Em]barely seven-[G]teen,
and we were [Em]barely [D]dressed.

{c:Both}
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a-[D]bout it,
[G]Baby, got to [A]go and [D]shout it,
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a-[D]bout it, we were [A]doubly [G]blessed,
'Cause we were [Em]barely seven-[G]teen,
and we were [Em]barely [D]dressed.

{c:Meat Loaf (Karla: Ooh shop shop)}
Baby don'tcha hear my heart,
you got it drowning out the [G]radio
I've been [C]waiting so long,
for you to [G]come along and have some [D]fun

And I gotta let ya know,
no you're never gonna re-[G]gret it
So open [F#]up your eyes, I got a [G]big surprise,
it'll [E]feel all right,
well, I [A]wanna make your motor [D]run

{c:Both}
And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight,
It never [Bb]felt so [F]good, it never [C]felt so [D]right,
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife,
[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife,

{c:Meat Loaf}
C'[G]mon! Hold on [D]tight!
C'[G]mon! Hold on [F]tight!  [A] 

{c:Both}
Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep [A]dark [G]night
I can [D]see para-[F#m]dise by the dashboard [G]light
Though it's [Em]cold and [D]lonely in the [Bm]deep dark [A]night  (In the deep dark [F#]night)
[G]Para-[D]dise by the [A]dashboard [D]light

{c:Both}
[G]You got to [A]do what you [D]can,
and let [G]Mother Nature [A]do the [D]rest
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a-[D]bout it, we were [A]doubly [G]blessed
'Cause we were [Em]barely seven-[G]teen,
and we were [Em]barely

I couldn't [F]take it any longer,

I started [C]swearing to my God and on my [G]mother's grave,
that I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time, I swore
I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time!

{c:Both}
So now I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time,
to [F]hurry up [G]and ar-[C]rive
Cause [C]if I gotta [G]spend another [Am]minute with you,
I don't [G]think that I can really survive
I'll never [F]break my promise or forget my vow,

{c:Meat Loaf}
But [C]God only knows what I can [G]do right now

{c:Both}
I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time,
It's all that I can [Am]do-oo-oo.
[C]Praying for the [G]end of [C]time, 
So I can [F]end my [G]time with [C]you!  [G]↓  [C]↓
