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)
