Hot Tonight
View chords used in this chart
E C#m A E
Standing in a world with a streetlight sun
E C#m A E
I don't keep my sneakers white
E C#m A E
All I really got is a name and a buck
E C#m A E
To get me to another life
B
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
[Refrão]
E C#m
I burn the house down
A E
and I leave it behind
C#m A E
I didn't need the money but the money was nice
C#m
I need a countdown
A E
when the fire is high
C#m A E
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.
2am is bright from this side of the street
tomorrow seems a year away
sitting by the fire and I saved you a seat
you're not keeping track of days
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
I burn the house down
by the end of the night
my pocket's full of nothing and it's keeping me light
I need a countdown
when the fire is high
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight.
Bridge:
B E A
Drinking in the park
B E A
staring at the stars like a satellite dish
B E A
I had a good time
B E A
and I'm ready to die.
Same as before:
Nothing is enough to anyone else
I wait until they pass me by
standing in a world with a streetlight sun
watch me slipping out of sight
and I wonder what you're doing tonight.
I burn the house down
by the end of the night
I didn't need the money but the money was nice
I need a countdown
as I'm watching it die
sitting on the curb and it's hot tonight
