Meat Loaf - Bad For Good
INTRO: (## Screaming Lead Guitar ##)
       G
The sea is whippin' the skyC  
The sky is whippin' the sea
You can hide away forAmever from the storm
But you'll Gnever hide away from Dme
The Gicy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may Emlose everyDthing in the Cwind
But the GNorthern Lights are burnin' and they're giving off Csparks
I want to Amwrap myself around you like a winter Dskin
GYou know, I'm onto your scentC  
We're near the end of the chase
Take a Clook out your window, I'll be Amthere in the night
Oh, your Glove is so close that I can alDmost taste itG  
The cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may Emlose everyDthing in the Cwind
But the GNorthern Lights are burning and they're giving off Csparks
I want to Amwrap myself around you like a winter Dskin
You've been Gmlivin' your life like a girl in a cage
And you Fwhisper when I want you to shout (whisper when I want you to Gmshout)
And I never know why you wanna go on sleepin'
When there's Bbnothing left to dream aDbout
But you better remember....
If it's Gsomethin' I want, then it's Csomethin' I Gneed
I Emwasn't built for Amcomfort, I was Cbuilt for Gspeed
If it's Gsomethin' I want, then it's Csomethin' I Gneed
I Emwasn't built for Amcomfort, I was Cbuilt for Gspeed
And I Amknow that I'm gonna be like Gthis forever
I'm Emnever gonna Dbe what I Cshould
And you Gthink that I'll be Ambad for just a Glittle Cwhile
(think that I'll be bad for just a little while)
And you Gthink that I'll be Ambad for just a Glittle Cwhile
But I Dknow that I'll be bad for Ggood
Your eyes are darker than Csin
And I've been watchin' them glow
Take a chance on a promise and a Amroll of the dice
Put your Gfoot on the gas, let it Dgo, let it go, let it Ggo
You've been Gmlivin' your life like a girl in a cage
And you Fwhisper when I want you to shout
And I Gmnever know why you wanna go on sleepin'
When there's Bbnothing left to dream aDbout
But you better remember....
If it's Gsomethin' I want, then it's Csomethin' I Gneed
I Emwasn't built for Amcomfort, I was Cbuilt for Gspeed
If it's Gsomethin' I want, then it's Csomethin' I Gneed
I Emwasn't built for Amcomfort, I was Cbuilt for Gspeed
And I Amknow that I'm gonna be like Gthis forever
I'm Emnever gonna Dbe what I Cshould
And you Gthink that I'll be Ambad for just a Glittle Cwhile
(think that I'll be bad for just a little while)
And you Gthink that I'll be Ambad for just a Glittle Cwhile
But I Amknow that I'll be bad for Cgood
I Dknow that I'll be bad for Ggood (bad for just a Clittle while)
I Dknow that I'll be bad for Emgood (I Amknow that GI'll be Dbad for Ggood)

For the Dgood of the fire in your soul
For the Agood of the kiss, let me hold you so tight
For the Bgood of getting out of control
For the Ggood of the action and a race in the dark
For the Dgood of those chills up your spine
For the Agood of the rock and the roll in your heart
For the Bgood of what's yours and what's mine
For the Emgood of believing in a life after birth
For the Cgood of your body so bright
For the Agood of the search for some heaven on earth
For the Bgood of one hell of a night
