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

            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?

                 C              D                       G
Oh give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,
                C                  D               G

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
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
