Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Words & Music:

Jim Steinman (Meatloaf)

G D C G

Baby, we can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere.

D Em C D

I told you everything I possibly can, there's nothing left inside of here.

And maybe you can cry all night, but that'll never change the way that I feel.

The snow is really piling up outside, I wish you wouldn't make me leave here.

C G C G

I poured it on and I poured it out. I tried to show you just how much I care.

C G

I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout.

F C D

But you've been cold to me so long, I'm crying icicles instead of tears.

C D C D

And all I can do is keep on telling you,

CHORUS:

G Em C D Bm Em

I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you.

C Em Am C D Em

Now, don't be sad, (don't be sad) 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

C Em Am C D Em

Now, don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

C G

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 Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

Bm C

I can't lie, I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not.

No matter how I try

Bm C A

I'll never be able to give you something, something that I just haven't got.

Now, there is 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, ooh, I know.

Well I remember how she left me on a stormy night oh, 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

And she kept on telling me, she kept on telling me, she kept on telling me

CHORUS: [2x]

Now, don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

Baby we can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere...
