INTRO: (## Screaming Lead Guitar ##)
       G  
 
                            C
The sea is whippin' the sky
 
The sky is whippin' the sea
                     Am
You can hide away forever from the storm
           G                    D
But you'll never hide away from me
    G
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
           Em        D            C
And we may lose everything in the wind
        G                                                  C
But the Northern Lights are burnin' and they're giving off sparks
          Am                                   D
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin
 
 
G                             C
You know, I'm onto your scent
 
We're near the end of the chase
       C                             Am
Take a look out your window, I'll be there in the night
         G                             D               G
Oh, your love is so close that I can almost taste it
 
The cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
           Em        D            C
And we may lose everything in the wind
        G                                                  C
But the Northern Lights are burning and they're giving off sparks
          Am                                   D
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin
 
 
            Gm
You've been livin' your life like a girl in a cage
        F                                                            Gm
And you whisper when I want you to shout (whisper when I want you to shout)
      
And I never know why you wanna go on sleepin'
             Bb                     D
When there's nothing left to dream about
 
But you better remember....
 
 
        G                           C           G
If it's somethin' I want, then it's somethin' I need
  Em               Am             C         G
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed
        G                           C           G
If it's somethin' I want, then it's somethin' I need
  Em               Am             C         G
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed
 
 
      Am                          G
And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever
    Em          D         C
I'm never gonna be what I should
        G                  Am             G      C
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
(think that I'll be bad for just a little while)
        G                  Am             G      C
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
      D                         G
But I know that I'll be bad for good
 
 
                          C
Your eyes are darker than sin
 
And I've been watchin' them glow
                                 Am
Take a chance on a promise and a roll of the dice
         G                       D                     G
Put your foot on the gas, let it go, let it go, let it go
 
 
            Gm
You've been livin' your life like a girl in a cage
        F
And you whisper when I want you to shout
      Gm
And I never know why you wanna go on sleepin'
             Bb                     D
When there's nothing left to dream about
 
But you better remember....
 
 
        G                           C           G
If it's somethin' I want, then it's somethin' I need
  Em               Am             C         G
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed
        G                           C           G
If it's somethin' I want, then it's somethin' I need
  Em               Am             C         G
I wasn't built for comfort, I was built for speed
 
 
      Am                          G
And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever
    Em          D         C
I'm never gonna be what I should
        G                  Am             G      C
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
(think that I'll be bad for just a little while)
        G                  Am             G      C
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while
      Am                        C
But I know that I'll be bad for good
  D                         G                    C
I know that I'll be bad for good (bad for just a little while)
  D                         Em      Am        G       D       G 
I know that I'll be bad for good (I know that I'll be bad for good)

Bad for good
 
 
        Em
For the good of some thrills, on a long frigid night
        D
For the good of the fire in your soul
        A
For the good of the kiss, let me hold you so tight
        B
For the good of getting out of control
 
 
        G
For the good of the action and a race in the dark
        D
For the good of those chills up your spine
        A
For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart
        B
For the good of what's yours and what's mine
 
 
        Em
For the good of believing in a life after birth
        C
For the good of your body so bright
        A
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth
        B
For the good of one hell of a night
                              Em
For the good of one hell of a night

The sea is whippin' the sky
                            
The sky is whippin' the sea
                     Am 
You can hide away forever from the storm
           G                    D
But you'll never hide away from me
    G
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
           Em        D            C                            G
And we may lose everything in the wind (lose everything in the wind)
        G                                                  C
But the Northern Lights are burnin' and they're giving off sparks
          Am                                   D
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin
 
 
Em                         D
I know that you can be bad
 
At least a little while
           C         G               C          G
But if you give me a chance, give me one little chance
    F               C             D
And give me all the love that you should
 
 
       G              Am             G      C
Then instead of bein' bad for just a little while
                                        
(instead of bein' bad for just a little while)
       G              Am             G      C
Then instead of bein' bad for just a little while
                                        
(instead of bein' bad for just a little while)

Then instead of bein' bad for just a little while
 
 
    D                      G                    C
I'm gonna make you bad for good (not for just a little while)
    D                      G                    C
I'm gonna make you bad for good (not for just a little while)

I'm gonna make you bad for good
