[Verse 1]
Em
In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
        Am
But you do what you want to do
                                               Em
You do what you feel, and no one can feel like you
             Em  
In the summertime city ain’t it a pity
        Am
There’s so much to tie you down
                                                  Em
You’re leaving tonight for somewhere you can’t be found

[Chorus 1]
G                 Am          G
While down at the end of town
                          Am
At a pool hall where they all hang around
                   G
You can hear them talking ‘bout girls they knew
Am
Talk ‘bout what they’re gonna do
         G                          Am
And you ask yourself is this where you belong
      Am  
Is it right or is it wrong does it matter what’s right
                    Em
In the heat of the night

[Verse 2]
              Em
Out in the streets tonight under the neon lights
        Am
You're searching for something new
                                         Em
Nothing is real and no one can feel like you
         Em
They say eagles fly in this red hot sky
     Am
But were they just passing through
                                                   Em
Or did they look down and see what you found it’s true

[Chorus 2]
G                Am
But still in the back of your mind
            G
You’ve got something to believe in
            Am
But there’s so much to find
         G                        Am
As the bright lights dim and the night closes in
            G                             Am
You thought everything has ended but it’s yet to begin
        G
And you ain’t seen nothing yet
              Am
And what you see you won’t forget
            G       Am
And you say Why oh why?
                            G
Did it take you so long to want something more
         Am
(Why oh why)
                           G
Did you never get off on this before
         Am
(Why oh why)
                                  G
And here it is life you’ve been waiting for
         Am
(Why oh why)
                          G
Standing in front of you like an open door

[Bridge]
         G                          Am
And you ask yourself is this where you belong
      Am  
Is it right or is it wrong does it matter what’s right
                    Em
In the heat of the night

[Outro]
Em
In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right
        Am
But you do what you want to do
                                               Em
You do what you feel, and no one can feel like you
