Paradise By The Dashboard Light chords by Meat Loaf (Ver. 2)

and the bass hits a C.  the start has a syncopated rhythm, so you'll have to listen
to the song to pick that up.

I. Paradise
Boy:
D							G
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
C				    G                  D
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
      D                                        G
And I never had a girl looking any better than you did
F#				       G                 A       D
And all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night

PRECHORUS:
            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                        D            A/D       D
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G/D              D            A/D       D
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
G              D      G              F
C'mon! Hold on tight! C'mon! Hold on tight!

CHORUS:
            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                  A   G
Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
              Em                                  D
Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed
G        A      D       G           A      D
Ain't no doubt about it baby got to go and shout it

          C                          G                        D
I've been waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fun
      D                                       G
And I gotta let ya know no you're never gonna regret it
        F#                   G                  E
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise it'll feel all right
       A                     D
Well I wanna make your motor run

PRECHORUS (same chords)

  You got to do what you can and let mother nature do the rest
G        A      D                  A   G
Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
              Em
Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely --
(4x)  A          Bm        A       G              A           G                 A

iii. Praying for the end of time

Boy:
           F
I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed
	      C                          F
And then the feeling came upon me 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!

G            C               G      C
  So now I'm praying for the end of time
   F        G   C
To hurry up and arrive
      C          Em/b          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
    C                         G
But god only knows what I can do right now
    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!

Boy:
       F/C     C           G/C  C
It was long ago and it was far away
           F/C     C              G/C  C
And it was so much better than it is today

Girl:

It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
