A          D                 E           A
Cold rain running down the front of my shirt
      D         E                   A
I'm flat on my back, wheels in the dirt
                 D              E      A
Angel makes her face up out on Baker Street
         D             E                  A
She's straddling the shifter in my front seat
         D                       Bm
There's nothing to lose, it's a heartbreak,
             A   D E A
the deck's stacked
             D                     E
So put your foot to the floor and darling
            A  D A
don't look back

We're making night tracks through the blazing rain
Blowin' pistons, workin' the fast lane
Red line burnin', pockets full of cash
Angel writes her name in lipstick on my dash
There's nothing to lose, it's a bad break
But baby, we're backed
Tonight we'll blow off the doors
And honey, we won't look back

    D                            Bm
We held it in our hearts in the pouring rain
    D                              Bm
We made it through the heart of a hurricane
    Em                G                D
We tore it apart and put it together again
      A
Whoa whoa
           G       Bm       E
Whoa whoa whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Well angel, won't you believe in love for me?
Come on and meet me tonight, darling,
out in the street
We'll move with the city in the dark
You gotta walk it, talk it, in your heart
There's nothin' to lose, it's a heartache
The deck's stacked
So put your foot to the floor, darlin'
Tonight we'll blow off the doors, baby
We're gonna even the score
And honey, we won't look back

Woah, woah
Don't look back
Baby, don't look back
Woah woah woah woah woah
Oh baby, don't look back
No no no no no
Baby, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
