Paradise By The Dashboard Light

	  		

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

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

A                 G 
Stop right there! 
        A           
I gotta know right now! 

Before we go any further--! 
       G 
Do you love me? 

Will you love me forever? 
       D 
Do you need me? 

Will you never leave me? 
         C                        G 
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? 
         A    
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? 

       G 
Let me sleep on it, 
                  D 
baby, baby let me sleep on it 
       G 
Let me sleep on it, 
         D           C             G   D 
and I'll give you my answer in the morning 


I gotta know right now! 
       G 
Do you love me? 

Will you love me forever? 
       D 
Do you need me? 

Will you never leave me? 
         C                        G 
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life? 
         A   
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? 
       G 
Do you love me? 
         D 
Will you love me forever? 

D                        Eb                     E 
Will you love me forever? Let me sleep on it! Will you love me forever... 

           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! 

           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, 
     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!!! 
                             
       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  G C G C 
and it was so much better than it is today (and we were glowing like a metal on the edge
