Tom: G
G5/E A5/E, G5/E E5, G5/E A5/E, G5/E E5 2X
G5/E A5/E G5/E
I was caught in the crossfire
E5 G5/E
of a silent scream
A5/E G5/E
Where one man's nightmare
E5 G5/A
is another man's dream
A5 G5/A
Pull the cover up high
A5 G5/E A5/E, G5/E E5,
and pray for the mornin' light
C9
Cause you're livin' alone
D G5/E A5/E, G5/E E5,
in the heat of the night
Met a man with a message
from the other side
Couldn't take the pressure
had to leave it behind
He said it's up to you
You can run or you can fight (Ya that's right)
Better leave it alone
in the heat of the night
Chorus
G5/E E5 G
In the heat of the night
D/F#
they'll be comin' around
Em
They'll be lookin' for answers
C
they'll be chasin' you down
G D
In the heat of the night
C9
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?
D
Don't look back don't ever turn around)
Chorus
G5/E E5 G
In the heat of the night
D/F#
they'll be comin' around
Em
They'll be lookin' for answers
C
they'll be chasin' you down
G D
In the heat of the night
C2
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?
D
Don't look back don't ever turn around)
G5/E E5 G
In the heat of the night
D/F#
they'll be comin' around
Em
They'll be lookin' for answers
C
they'll be chasin' you down
G D
In the heat of the night
C9
(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?
D
Don't look back don't ever turn around)
Had to pay the piper
to call the tune
Said he'd be back someday
said he'd be back real soon
Pull the shades down low
you'll know when the time is right
When you're lyin' alone
in the heat of the night
