Chords with lyrics
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
Standard tuning, no capo.
I use barre chords but you can use whatever.
D MajorD
Well, I remember every little thing
G+G
as if it happened only yesterday
C majorC
Parking by the lake,
G+G D MajorD
and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl,
G+G
looking any better than you did
F#F#
And all the kids at school,
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
they were wishing they were me that night
Bb majorBb FF C majorC D MajorD
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
Bb majorBb FF C majorC D MajorD
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G+G D MajorD
C'mon! Hold on tight!
G+G FF A augmentedA
C'mon! Hold on tight!
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
G+G D MajorD F# minorF#m G+G
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
E minorEm D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m F#F#
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night (in the deep dark night)
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Paradise by the dashboard light

We're gonna go all the way tonight, we're gonna go all the way, tonight's the night...

Will you never leave me?
C majorC G+G
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Let me sleep on it,
D MajorD
baby, baby let me sleep on it
G+G

and I'll give you my answer in the morning
I gotta know right now!

FF
I couldn't take it any longer,
Lord I was crazed
C majorC
And when the feeling came upon me,
FF
like a tidal wave
C majorC G+G
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave,
FF G+G C majorC
that I would love you to the end of time
FF G+G C majorC
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
C majorC G+G C majorC
So now I'm praying for the end of time,
FF G+G C majorC
to hurry up and arrive
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you,
G+G
I don't think that I can really survive
FF
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,
C majorC G+G
(but God only knows what I can do right now)
C majorC G+G C majorC
I'm praying for the end of time,
A minorAm
it's all that I can do
C majorC G+G C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
It was long ago and it was far away, (it never felt so good, it never felt so right)
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
and it was so much better than it is today (and we were glowing like a metal on the edge
(of a knife)
FF G+G C majorC
Paradise
