  It's not perfect, but it works for me.

  

  BOY:

  [D]I remember every little thing

  As if it happened only [G]yesterday

  [A]Parking by the lake

  And there was [G]not another car in [D]sight

  And I never had a girl

  Looking any better than you [G]did

  And all the [A]kids at school

  They were [G]wishing they were me that [D]night 

  And now our [D]bodies are [C]oh so close and [D]tight

  It [D]never felt so [C]good, it never 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 [A]tight

  Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep [A]dark [G]night

  I can [D]see para[G]dise by the [A]dash[G]board [D]light

  GIRL:

  [G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it we were doubly [G]blessed

  'Cause we were barely seventeen

  And we were barely [D]dressed

  BOTH:

  [G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it

  [G]Baby got to [A]go out and [D]shout it

  [G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it

  We were doubly [G]blessed

  BOY: 'Cause we were barely seventeen

  And we were barely [D]dressed

   

  [D]Baby don'cha hear my heart

  You got it drowing out the [G]radio

  I've been [A]waiting so long

  For you to [G]come along and have some [D]fun

  And I gotta let you know

  No you're never gonna reg[G]ret it

  So open [A]up your eyes, I got a [G]big surprise

  It'll [A]feel all right

  Well I [G]wanna make you [A]motor [D]run

  And now our [D]bodies are [C]oh so close and [D]tight

  It [D]never felt so [C]good, it never 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]

  BOTH:

  Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep [A]dark [G]night

  I can [G]see para[D]dise by the [B]dash[A]board [G]light

  Though it's [G]cold and [D]lonely in the [B]deep [G]dark [A]night

  I can see para[D]dise by the [A]dashboard [D]light

  [G]AYou got to [A]do what you [D]can

  And let[G]Mother Nature [A]do the [D]rest

  [G]Ain't no [A]doubt a[D]bout it we were doubly [G]blessed

  'Cause we were barely 

  [A]We're gonna go all the way tonight

  We're gonna go all the way

  And tonight's the night

  

  RADIO BROADCAST:

  [E]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 wind-up, 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 the center

  And here's 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

  Amd what a jump he's got

  He's trying for third

  Here's the throw

  It's in the dirt, safe a third

  Holw cow, stolen base

  He's taking a pretty big lead out there

  Almost daring them to 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

  Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate

  Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it

  BOY:

  It was[F] long a[C]go and it was [G]far a[C]way,

  And it was [F]so much [C]better than it[G] is to[C]day.

  GIRL:

  It never felt so good, It never felt so right

  And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
