By Meat Loaf (Bat Out of Hell II)

I’d run right into hell and back

Bm
And some days it don’t come easy
G
and some days it don’t come hard
Em
Some days it don’t come at all and
D
these are the days that never end
Bm
And some nights you’re breathing fire and
G
some days you’re carved in ice
Em
Some days you’re like nothing I’ve ever
D
seen before or will again
G D Bm A
And maybe I’m crazy, oh it’s crazy and it’s true
G D Bm A
I know you can save me no one else can save me now but you
Em
As long as the planets are turning,
Gdim
as long as the stars are burning
G A
As long as your dreams are comong true, you better believe me
A D Dsus4 D A
That I would do anything for love,
D A G
and I’ll be there ’till the final act
D Dsus4 D A
I would do anything for love,
D A G
and I take a vow and seal a pact

But I’ll never forgive myself if we don’t go all the way — tonight
D A

But I just won’t do that … (repeat xx times)

Bm
And somedays I pray for silence,
G
somedays I pray for soul
Em
Somedays I just pray for the god of
D
Sex and Drugs and Rock’n’Roll
Bm
Some nights I lose the feeling,
G
some nights I lose control
Em
Some nights I just lose it all when I
D
watch you dance and the thunder rolls
G D Bm A
Maybe I’m lonely and that’s all I’m qualified to be
G D Bm A
There’s just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep
Em
As long as the wheels are turning,
Gdim
as long as the fires are burning
G A
As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it!
D Dsus4 D A
That I would do anything for love,
D A G
and you know it’s true and that’s a fact
D Dsus4 D A
I would do anything for love,
D A G
and there never be no turning back
Bm F#m
But I’ll never do it better than I do it with you,
G A
so long — so long
D A

G
But I won’t do that
A D
No I won’t do that
D G A
Will you raise me up, will you help me down
D G A9
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town
D G A
Will you make it all a little less cold
G A D
I can do that, I can do that !
D G A
Will you hold me sacred, will you hold me tight
D G A9
Can you colorize my life I’m so sick of black and white
D G A
Can you make it all a little less old
G A D
I can do that, I can do that !
D G A
Will you make me some magic with your own two hands
D G A9
Can you build an emerald city with this grains of sand
D G A
Can you give me something I can take home
G A D
I can do that, I can do that !
D G A
Will you cater to every fantasy I got,
D G A9
will you hose me down with holy water — if I get to hot
D G A
Will you take me to places I’ve never known
G A D
I can do that, I can do that !
D G A
After a while you forget everything,
D G A9
it was a brief interlude and a midsummernights fling,
D G A
and you see that it’s time to move on
G A D
I won’t do that, I won’t do that !
D G A
I know the territory, I’ve been around
D G A9
It’ll all turn to dust and we’ll all fall down
D G A
And sooner or later, you’ll be screwing around
G A D
I won’t do that, I won’t do that !
D Dsus4 D A
Anything for love
D Dsus4 D A9
I would do anything for love
D Dsus4 D A
I would do anything for love
G
But I won’t do that
A D
No I won’t do that
