Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

by Meatloaf (written by Jim Steinman)

Verse
[G]
Baby we can talk all [D]night 

[C]But that ain't gettin us [G]nowhere 

[G]2I told you [D]2everything I [Em]possibly can 

[C]There's nothing left in[D]side of here 

 

Verse…[G-D-C-G] [G2-D2-Em-C-D]

And maybe you can cry all night 

But that'll never change the way I feel 

The snow is really piling up outside 

I wish you wouldn't make me leave here 

 

Bridge
[C]2I poured it [D]2on and I [G]poured it out 

[C]2I tried to [D]2show you just how [G]much I care 

[C]2I'm tired of[D]2words, & I'm[G]2too hoarse to[Em]2shout 

[F]8But you've been cold to me so long 

I'm crying [C]icicles instead of [D]tears, 

And [C]2all I can [D]2do, is [C]2keep on telling [D]2you 


Chorus
[G]
I want you, I [Em]need you
There[C]ain't no[D]way I'm[Bm]ever gonna[Em]love you

Now [C]1don't [Em]1be [Am]sad

Cause [C]2two out of [D]2three ain't [G]bad 

 

Bridge
[C] 2You'll never find your [D]2 gold on a [G] sandy beach

[C]2 You'll never drill for [D]2 oil on a [G] city street

[C]2 I know you're looking for a [D]2 ruby in a

[G]2 Mountain of [Em]2rocks 

[F]6 But there ain't no Coup de Ville, 

Hiding at the [C]2 bottom of a [D] CrackerJack box


Bridge
[Bm]
I can not lie  

[Bm]I cannot tell you that I'm [C] something I'm not 

[C]No matter how I try, I'll [Bm]never be able 

[Bm]To give you something

[C]Something that I just haven't [D]got 

 

Verse…

[G]There's only one girl that I will ever love 

And that was [C]so many years ago[G]

[G]And though I know I'll never get her [Em]out of my heart 

She never [C]loved me back[D]

 

Verse…

[G]I remember how she left me on a stormy night 

She [C]kissed me and got out of our [G]bed 

And though I pleaded and I begged her not to
[Em]Walk out that door 

[C]She packed her bags and turned [D]right away 

And [C]all I can [D]do, is [C]keep on telling [D]you 

Chorus
[G]
I want you, I [Em]need you
There[C]ain't no[D]way I'm[Bm]ever gonna[Em]love you

Now [C]1don't [Em]1be [Am]sad

Cause [C]2two out of [D]2three ain't [G]bad 

 

[C]And she kept on [D]telling me 
[C]She kept on [D]telling me 

[C]She kept on [D]telling me 


Chorus
[G]
I want you, I [Em]need you     
There[C]ain't no[D]way I'm[Bm]ever gonna[Em]love you    Now [C]don't [Em]be [Am]sad

Cause [C]two out of [D]three ain't [G]bad 

Now [C]1don't [Em]1be [Am]sad
