          D    
Well, I remember every little thing
                       G
as if it happened only yesterday
C
Parking by the lake,
              G                  D
and there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl,
                        G
looking any better than you did
            Gb
And all the kids at school,
          G                 A       D
they were wishing they were me that night


            Bb         F     C         D
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
         Bb      F              C       D
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
          G                D            A         D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
          G                D            A         D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
   G           D
C'mon! Hold on tight!
   G           F    A
C'mon! Hold on tight!


            G        A             D    A    G
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
      D       Bm          G   Em    D
I can see paradise by the dashboard light


Girl:
G        A      D
Ain't no doubt about it,
        A      G
we were doubly blessed
              Em          G
Cause we were barely seventeen,
            Em      D
and we were barely dressed


Meatloaf & Girl:
G        A      D
Ain't no doubt about it;
            A      G
baby got to go and shout it
G        A      D
Ain't no doubt about it,
        A      G
we were doubly blessed

Meat Loaf:
              Em          G
Cause we were barely seventeen,
            Em      D
and we were barely dressed

          
         
Baby doncha hear my heart,
                            G
you got it drowning out the radio
          C
I've been waiting so long,
           G                        D
for you to come along and have some fun

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


            Bb         F     C         D
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
         Bb      F              C       D
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
          G                D            A         D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
          G                D            A         D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
   G           D
C'mon! Hold on tight!

G          A           D
You got to do what you can,
        G             A      D
and let Mother Nature do the rest
G        A      D
Ain't no doubt about it,

we were doubly blessed

Cause we were barely seventeen,

Radio Broadcast:
A  A7 A

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:
A                 G

Meat Loaf:
           F
I couldn't take it any longer,

Lord I was crazed
             C
And when the feeling came upon me,
       F
like a tidal wave
          C                            G
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave,
             F               G      C
that I would love you to the end of time
                     F               G      C
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!


Meat Loaf & Girl:
           C               G      C
So now I'm praying for the end of time,
   F        G    C
to hurry up and arrive
      C          G             Am
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you,
        G
I don't think that I can really survive
           F
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,


Meatloaf:
     C                         G
-but God only knows what I can do right now-


Meat Loaf & Girl:
    C               G      C
I'm praying for the end of time,
                    Am
it's all that I can do
C               G      C              F      G         C
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Meat Loaf:                           
       F     C             G    C     
It was long ago and it was far away, 

-it never felt so good, it never felt so right-
           F       C              G    C
and it was so much better than it is today 

-and we were glowing like a metal on the edge of a knife-
