Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

/ /, / , / /, / x2

I was caught in the crossfire

of a silent scream

Where one man's nightmare

is another man's dream

Pull the cover up high

and pray for the mornin' light

Cause you're livin' alone

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

In the heat of the night

they'll be comin' around

They'll be lookin' for answers

they'll be chasin' you down

In the heat of the night

(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?

Don't look back don't ever turn around)

Chorus

In the heat of the night

they'll be comin' around

They'll be lookin' for answers

they'll be chasin' you down

In the heat of the night

(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?

Don't look back don't ever turn around)

In the heat of the night

they'll be comin' around

They'll be lookin' for answers

they'll be chasin' you down

In the heat of the night

(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?

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

Chorus

In the heat of the night

they'll be comin' around

They'll be lookin' for answers

they'll be chasin' you down

In the heat of the night

(Where ya gonna hide when it all comes down?

Don't look back don't ever turn around)
