1. PARADISE
BOY:
D
I remember every little thing
G
As if it happened only yesterday
C
Parking by the lake
G A 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
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 G
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
D Bmin G Emin D
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
GIRL:
G A D
Ain't no doubt about it
A G
We were doubly blessed
Emin
'Cause we were barely seventeen
D
And we were barely dressed
G A D
Ain't no doubt about it
G A D
Baby got to go and shout it
G A D
Ain't no doubt about it
A G
We were doubly blessed
BOY:
Emin
'Cause we were barely seventeen
D
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
G
You got it drowning out the radio
C
I've been waiting so long
G A D
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know
G
No you're never gonna regret it
F# G
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
E
It'll feel all right
A D
Well I wanna make your motor run
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
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 G
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
G D F#min G
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Emin D Bmin A F# G
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
G A D
You got to do what you can
G A D
And let Mother Nature do the rest
G A D
Ain't no doubt about it
A G
We were doubly blessed
Emin
'Cause we were 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!
