E A B7 A E

[Verse 1]
E                                  A
In the heat of the night we were feeling right
B7       A        E
Closing in on the fire
                              A
Nowhere left to hide we were burnin' inside
B7      A          E
Closing in on the fire

[Verse 2]
         E                    A
We were movin' to the left, movin' to the right
B7         A         E
Move move all night long
                      A
We were reachin' up, reachin' in
B7      A          E
Closing in on the fire

[Break]
E                               A
Oh I'll never forget we were into the sweat
B7      A            E
Just kept climbin' higher
E                             A
Had the right stuff couldn't get enough
B7      A          E
Closing in on the fire

[Verse 3]
E                        A
We were reachin' up, reachin' down
B7       A        E
Closing in on the fire
E                                 A
We were burnin' it up, burnin' it down
B7       A        E
Closing in on the fire

[Break]
E                                 A
Couldn't let it go, it was out of control
B7      A        E
In way over our head
E                                      A
You must sacrifice, you must pay the price
B7          A                E
When you're in way over your head

[Verse 4]
E                                  A
We were shakin' it up, shakin' it down
B7          A          E
Shake shake all night long
E                                 A
It was raw to the up, raw to the down
B7           A         E
Raw raw to the bone, yeah
