Two Out Of Three Ain''t Bad by Meat Loaf
Two Out Of Three Ain''t Bad
[VERSE I]
A E
Baby we can talk all night
D A
But that ain''t gettin us nowhere
E F#
I told you everything I possibly can
D E
There''s nothing left inside of here
[VERSEII]
A E
And maybe you can cry all night
D A
But that''ll never change the way I feel
E F#
The snow is really piling up outside
D E
I wish you wouldn''t make me leave here
[BRIDGE1]
D A
I poured it on and I poured it out
D A
I tried to show you just how much I care
D A
I''m tired of words and I''m too hoarse to shout
F
But you''ve been cold to me so long
D E
I''m crying icicles instead of tears
[CHORUS]
D E
And all I can do
D E
Is keep on telling you
A
I want you
F#
I need you
D E C# A
But-there ain''t no way I''m ever gonna love you
D F# Bm
Now don''t be sad
D E A
''Cause two out of three ain''t bad
D F# Bm
Now don''t be sad
D E H
''Cause two out of three ain''t bad
[BRIDGE2](chords as first bridge)
You''ll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You''ll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you''re looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain''t no Coup de Ville
Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box
C#
I cannot lie
C# D
I cannot tell you that i''m something I''m not
D
No matter how I try
C#
I''ll never be able
C#
To give you something
A B
Something that I just haven''t got
[VERSE III]
There''s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I''ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
[VERSE IV]
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
D E
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
[CHORUS]
I want you
I need you
But there ain''t no way I''m ever gonna love you
Now don''t be sad
''Cause two out of three ain''t bad
I want yoU
I need you
But there ain''t no way I''m ever gonna love you
Now don''t be sad
''Cause two out of three ain''t bad
A E
Baby we can talk all night
D A
But that ain''t getting us nowhere
