Heat Of The Night

 
              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

       (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

           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
