[Verse]
F            C                 Bb          C
      So you think you're so refined,   ahead of your time
F            C                  Bb             C
    Leavin' all your friends behind,  are you hopin' to find
Bb           C                   F                   Bb
   Love is a city, 'cause you're young   and feelin' pretty
F                C              Bb           C
   But you won't even know your name


[Verse]
F           C                   Bb        C
     So you think it's all good fun,   a movie parade
F                 C                Bb            C
   You spend your best days in the sun, with the new friends you made
Bb                      C                     F                Bb
   But when you've got trouble you don't look back. They won't know ya
F              C               Bb              G
    they won't even know  your name


[Chorus]
       A
Slow down, hot town burn like a fever,
G                          E
Lyin' in the back o' your mind
       A
Slow down, hot town burn like a fever,
G                          E
Sneakin' up on you from behind
                 A
You better slow down, hot town burns like a fever
G                          E
Lyin' in the back o' your mind
                 A
You better slow down, hot town burns like a fever
G                          E           D          C
Creepin' up on you from behind


[Verse]
F           C                  Bb         C
   So you think you've got it made,   at least for a while
F            C                Bb          C
      Always  sittin' in the shade,    adjustin' your smile
Bb                      C                     F              Bb
   But I don't like to shake you, don't you know, you had it comin'
F                C               Bb              G
  But they don't even know your name


[Chorus]
                 A
You better slow down, hot town burns like a fever
G                          E
Lyin' in the back o' your mind
       A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever,
G                          E
Sneakin' up on you from behind


[Bridge]
D            C9          G             C9
No one ever told her or showed her the way
D            C9          G             E
No one ever told her or showed her


[Chorus]
             A
Better slow down, hot town burns like a fever,
G                          E
Lyin' in the back o' your mind
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever,
G                          E
Sneakin' up on you from behind


[Outro]
             A
Better slow down, Hot town burns like a fever
G               E
Burnin' up,    Burnin' in the back o' your (mind)
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever,
      G                    E
It's creepin' up,   It's creepin' up on you from (behind)
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever
         G                          E
Oh-oh, burnin' up, oh-oh burnin' in the back o' your
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever,
      G                    E
It's creepin' up,   It's creepin' up on you from (behind)
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever
G                    E
Fryin’ up,     it’s fryin’ in the back of your mind
      A
Slow down, hot town burns like a fever
G               E
Burnin' up,    Burnin' in the back o' your mind
