For Crying Out Loud chords
Meat Loaf
Capo III
G Em Am D G
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
Am Em Am G D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand
C Am Em G
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
Em Am D Am
And can t you see my faded Levis bursting apart?
Em
And don t you hear me crying;
G
Oh babe, don t go?
Am
And don t you hear me screaming;
D
How was I to know?
G C
I m in the middle of nowhere,
D G
near the end of the line
C
But there s a border to somewhere waiting,
D G
and there s 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 don t have to stay
Em D C G
And I m going to 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
For crying out loud,
G
you know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud,
G
you know I love you
Em D
For crying out loud,
C G Em Am G D
you know I love you
G Em
I was damned and you were saved,
Am D
and I never knew how enslaved,
G
I was kneeling;
Em C D
in the chains of my master
G Em
I could laugh but you could cry,
Am D
and I never knew just how high,
G
I was flying;
Em C D
ah, with you right above me

Em D
For crying out loud,
C G Em Am G D
you know I love you
G
For taking in the rain when I m feeling so dry,
Am
for giving me the answers when I m asking you why,
C D
and my oh my,
G
for that I thank you
For taking in the sun when I m feeling so cold,
Am
for giving me a child when my body is old,
C D
and don t you know,
G
for that I need you?
For coming to my room when you know I m alone,
Am
for finding me a highway and driving me home,
C D
and you got to know,
G
for that I serve you?
For pulling me away when I m starting to fall,
Am
for revving me up when I m 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
Ah, but most of all
D
For crying out loud,
G
for that I love you
Em
Who, but most of all,
D
for crying out loud,
G
for that I love you
Em
Who, but most of all,
D
for crying out loud,
G G Em G Em
For that I love you
Em D
When you re crying out loud,
C G
You know I love you
