Paradise By The Dashboard Light

[D]

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

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
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
C'm[G]on! Hold on [D]tight!
C'm[G]on! Hold on [F]tight[A]!

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

Girl:

[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[D]ressed

Meatloaf & Girl:

[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it;
baby got to [A]go and [G]shout it
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it,
we were [A]doubly [G]blessed

Meat Loaf:
Cause we were [Em]barely seven[G]teen,
and we were [Em]barely d[D]ressed

Baby doncha 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

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
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
C'm[G]on! Hold on [D]tight!
C'm[G]on! Hold on [F]tight[A]!

Meat Loaf & Girl:

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 [F#m]deep dark [F#]night)
[G]Para[D]dise by the [A]dashboard [D]light

[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. . .

Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

Girl:

Lord I was crazed
And when the [C]feeling came upon me,

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 that I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time!

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,

Meatloaf:
(but [C]God only knows what I can [G]do right now)

Meat Loaf & Girl:

I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time,

[C]Praying for the [G]end of [C]time, so I can [F]end my [G]time with [C]you!!!

Meat Loaf:                             Girl:
It was [F]long a[C]go and it was [G]far a[C]way, (it never felt so good, it never felt so right)
and it was [F]so much [C]better than it [G]is to[C]day (and we were glowing like a metal on the edge
                                           (of a knife)
