1. PARADISE
BOY:
[D]I remember every little thing
As if it happened only [G]yesterday
[C]Parking by the lake
And there was [G]not another [A]car in [D]sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than [G]you did
And all the [F#]kids at school
They were [G]wishing they were [A]me that [D]night
And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight
It never fel[Bb]t so good, [F]it never [C]felt so [D]right
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
[G]C'mon! [D]Hold on tight!
[G]C'mon! Hold on [F]tight[A]!
Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep dark [G]night
I can [D]see para[Bmin]dise by the [G]dash[Emin]board [D]light
GIRL:
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it
We were doub[A]ly [G]blessed
'Cause we were [Emin]barely seventeen
And we were barely [D]dressed
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it
[G]Baby got to [A]go and [D]shout it
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it
We were dou[A]bly [G]blessed
BOY:
'Cause we were [Emin]barely seventeen
And we were barely [D]dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the [G]radio
I've been [C]waiting so long
For you to [G]come along and [A]have some [D]fun
And I gotta let you know
No you're never gonna re[G]gret it
So open [F#]up your eyes I got a [G]big surprise
It'll [E]feel all right
Well I [A]wanna make your motor [D]run
And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight
It never [Bb]felt so [F]good, it never [C]felt so [D]right
And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife
[G]C'mon! Hold on [D]tight!
[G]C'mon! Hold on [F]tight![A]
Though it's [G]cold and l[A]onely in the [D]deep dark [G]night
[G]I can see para[D]dise by the [F#min]dashboard [G]light
Though it's [Emin]cold and [D]lonely in the [Bmin]deep dark [A]night [F#](in the deep dark [G]night)
[G]Para[D]dise by the [A]dashboard [D]light
[G]You got to [A]do what you [D]can
And let [G]Mother Nature [A]do the [D]rest
[G]Ain't no [A]doubt about [D]it
We were do[A]ubly [G]blessed
'Cause we were [Emin]barely seventeen
And we were barely-
[A]We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way
And tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way
And tonight's the night...
RADIO BROADCAST
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here,
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth,
There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle,
Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really
turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for
second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the
throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he
comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid
really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the
plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got,
he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at
third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out
there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third
base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze
play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME
I couldn't [F]take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the [C]feeling came upon me
Like a [F]tidal wave
I started [C]swearing to my god and on my [G]mother's grave
That I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time
I swore that I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time![G]
So now I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time
To [F]hurry up [G]and [C]arrive
'Cause [C]if I gotta [G]spend another [Amin]minute with you
I don't [G]think that I can really survive
I'll never [F]break my promise or forget my vow
But [C]God only knows what I can [G]do right now
I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time
It's all that I can [Amin]do
[C]Praying for the [G]end of [C]time,
So I can [F]end my [G]time with [C]you!!
BOY:
It was [F]long a[C]go and it was [G]far a[C]way
And it was [F]so much [C]better that [G]it is to[C]day
GIRL:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife
