[D] [-] [E]The sirens are screaming and the fires are how[A]ling
Way do[E]wn in the valley tonight
[D] [-] [E]Theres a man in the shadows with a g[B]un in his eye
And a [A]blade shining oh so bright
Theres e[E]vil in the air and theres th[B]under in the sky
And a k[C#m]illers on the bloodshot s[A]treets
Oh and [E]down in the tunnel where the [B]deadly are rising
Oh [A]I swear I saw a young boy, Down in the gutter
A B A B (piano climb)
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh [A]Baby youre the only thing in this w[B]hole world
Thats p[E]ure and good and r[A]ight
And [A]wherever you are and [B]wherever you go
Theres a[A]lways gonna be some l[E]ight
But I [A]gotta get out, I gotta [B]break it out now
C#m A (piano climb)
Before the final crack of dawn
So we g[E]otta make the most of our [B]one night together
When its o[A]ver you know
Well both be so a[B]lone[A] [B] [A]

Im g[E]onna hit the highway like a b[A]attering ram
On a [E]silver black phantom bike
When the [E]metal is hot and the [Ab]engine is hungry
And were [A]all about to see the light
[E]Nothing ever grows in this [B]rotting old hole
[C#m]Everything is stunted and [A]lost
And [E]nothing really rocks, And [B]nothing really rocks
And n[A]othings ever worth the c[E]ost
And I k[A]now that Im d[B]amned if I never got o[E]ut
And[A] maybe Im d[B]amned if I d[E]o

[E]
Oh I can see [A]myself tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever [E]gone
And my s[A]kin is raw but my soul is ripe
No ones gonna stop me now
I gotta make my e[E]scape,
But I [C]cant s[D]top thinking of y[E]ou
[G]And I never see the sudden [D]curve until its way too l[E]ate
E B, A B x3
[G]Well I never see the sudden [D]curve till its way too l[E]ate
(Crash)
Slow
Then Im d[D]ying on the bottom of a p[E]it in the blazing s[F#m]un
[D]Torn and twisted and the [E]foot of a burning [F#m]bike
And I [G]think somebody some[A]where must be tolling a [Bm]bell
And the [D]last thing I [E]see is my [F#m]heart still [G7]beating[A]
B[F#]reaking out of my body , And [B]flying away
Like a bat out of [E]hell
Then Im d[G]ying at the bottom of a p[A]it in the blazing s[Bm]un
[G]Torn and twisted at the [A]foot of a burning [Bm]bike
And I[D] think somebody some[E]where must be tolling a [F#m]bell
[G]And the last thing I [A]see is my [Bm]heart still [C]beating
Still beating, Still beating
[F#]Breaking out of my body and [B]flying away
Like a bat out of [E]hel[E]l[D] [A]
Like a bat out of [E]hel[E]l[D] [A]
[E]Like a bat out of hell
E x 4 fast B A
Like a bat out of hell
E x 4 fast B A
Like a bat out of hell
Slow it down
[E]Like a bat out of h[A]ell
