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

is another man‘s dream

and pray for the mornin‘ light 
C2 
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

In the heat of the night

they‘ll be comin‘ around

They‘ll be lookin‘ for answers

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
