(Eb)The (F)si rens are scream ing, and the (Bb)fi res are howl ing way (F)down in the val ley to night.
(Eb)There’s a (F)man in the shad ows with a (Am)gun in his eye, and a (Bb)blade shin ing oh so bright.
There’s (F)e vil in the air and there’s thun der in the sky, and a (Dm)kill er’s on the blood (C)shot (Bb)streets.
And (F)down in the tun nel where the (C)dead ly are ris ing, oh, I (Dm)swear I saw a young boy (Bb)down in the gut ter, he was start ing to foam in the heat.
Oh, (Bb)ba by, you’re the on ly thing in (C)this whole world that’s (F)pure and good and (Bb)right.
And wher ev er you are, and wher (C)ev er you go, there’s (Bb)al ways gon na (C)be some (F)light.
But I (Bb)got ta get out, I got ta (C)break it out now, be (Dm)fore the fi nal crack of (Bb)dawn.
So we (F)got ta make the most of our (C)one night to geth er, when it’s (Bb)o ver you know, we’ll both be so a lone.
Like a (F)bat out of hell, I’ll be gone when the morn ing comes.
When the night is o ver, like a (Am)bat out of hell, I’ll be (Bb)gone, (Am)gone, (Gm)gone.
Like a (F)bat out of hell, I’ll be gone when the morn ing (Bb)comes.
But (C)when the (F)day is done and the (C)sun goes down, and the (Bb)moon light’s shin ing (Gm)through...
Then like a (F)sin ner be (Am)fore the (Dm)gates of (F)heav en, I’ll come (Bb)crawl ing on (Bb)back to (Gm7)you.
I’m (F)gon na hit the high way like a (Bb)bat ter ing ram on a (F)sil ver black phan tom bike.
When the met al is hot and the (Am)en gine is hun gry, and we’re (Bb)all a bout to see the light.
(F)Noth ing ev er grows in this (C)rot ting old hole, and (Dm)ev ’ry thing is stunt ed and (Bb)lost.
And (F)noth ing real ly rocks and noth ing real ly rolls, and noth ing’s ev er (C)worth the cost.
And I (Bb)know that I’m damned if I (F)nev er get out, and (Bb)may be I’m damned if I do.
But with ev ’ry oth er (C)beat I got (Dm)left in my heart,
you know I’d (Bb)rath er be damned with (F)you.
If I got ta be damned, you know I (C)wan na be damned, (Bb)danc ing through the (C)night with you.
If I got ta be damned, you know I (C)wan na be damned, (F)got ta be damned, you know I (Bb)wan na be damned, (F)got ta be damned, you know I (C)wan na be damned, (Bb)danc ing through the (C)night, (Bb)danc ing through the (C)night, (Bb)danc ing through the (C)night with (F)you.
Oh, Then like a (F)sin ner be (Am)fore the (Dm)gates of (F)heav en, I’ll come (Bbmaj7)crawl ing on (Bb)back to (Gm7)you.
Then like a (F)sin ner be (Am)fore the (Dm)gates of (F)heav en, I’ll come (Bb)crawl ing on (Bb)back to (Gm7)you.
I can (Bb)see my self tear ing up the road, (Eb)fast (Bb)er than (Eb)an y (Bb)oth er (Eb)boy (Bb)has ev er gone.
And my (Bb)skin is raw but my (Eb)soul is (Bb)ripe, and no one’s gon na stop me now, I’m gon na make my es (F)cape!
But I (Eb)can’t stop (Bb)think ing of you,
And I (Ab)nev er see the sud den curve till it’s way too (Fsus)late.
(Gm)And I (Ab)nev er see the sud den curve till it’s way too (F)late.
Then I’m (Eb)dy ing at the bot tom of the (F)pit in the blaz ing (Gm)sun.
(Eb)Torn and twist ed at the (F)foot of a burn ing (Gm)bike.
And I (Ab)think some bod y some (Bb)where must be toll ing a (Cm)bell.
And the (Eb)last thing I (F)see is my (Gm)heart
still (Eb)beat ing.
Break ing (Gm)out of my bod y, and (Cm)fly ing a way,
like a bat out of hell!
Then I’m (Ab)dy ing at the bot tom of a (Bb)pit in the blaz ing (Cm)sun.
(Ab)Torn and twist ed at the (Bb)foot of a burn ing (Cm)bike.
And I (Eb)think some bod y some (F)where must be toll ing a (Gm)bell.
And the (Ab)last thing I (Bb)see is my (Cm)heart,

still beat ing.
Break ing (Fm)out of my bod y and (C)fly ing a way
(CN.C.)like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
Like a bat out of hell!
Like a (C11)bat out (C)of hell!
