For Crying Out Loud by Meatloaf

G Em

I was lost till you were found

Am D

But I never knew how far down

G

I was falling

Em C D

Before I reached the bottom

G Em

I was cold and you were fire

Am D

And I never knew how the pyre

G

Could be burning

Em C D

On the edge of the ice field

C D G

And the now chilly california wind

C D G

Is blowing down our bodies again

Em Am G

D

And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly

california sand

C Am G

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart

Em Am D

And cant you see my faded levis bursting apart

G#m

And dont you hear me crying:

Bb

Oh babe, dont go

C

And dont you hear me screaming:

D

How was I to know?

G C

Im in the middle of nowhere

D G

Near the end of the line

C

But theres a border to somewhere waiting

D G

And theres a tankful of time

C D

G

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of

the day

C D G

And take me to another land where I dont have to

stay

Em D C G

And Im gonna need somebody to make me feel like you

do

Em D C

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open

eyes,

Am

D

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love

shine through

Em D G

For crying out loud You know I love you (play 4

times)

C Am D

You know I love you

G

For taking in the rain when Im feeling so dry

Am

For giving me the answers when Im asking you why

C D

And my oh my

G

For that I thank you

For taking in the sun when Im feeling so cold

Am

For giving me a child when my body is old

C D

And dont you know

G

For that I need you

For coming to my room when you know Im alone

Am

For finding me a highway and driving me home

C D

And you gotta know

G

For that I serve you

For pulling me away when Im starting to fall

Am

For revving me up when Im starting to stall

C D

And all in all

G

For that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game

Am

For praying for my future in the days that remain

C D

Oh lord

G

For that I hold you

Em D

G

Ah but most of all For cryin out loud For that I

love you X4

D
