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

                         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
