C G/B Am G6 F C/E Dm G
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am G6
Oh what a place feels so warm when you land
F C/E Dm G
With your head in the clouds and your feet in the sand
C G/B Am G6
Give me piña colada, tequila, and wine
F C/E Dm G
With a pretty young thing I’d like to make mine
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am G6
A tongue like a knife and an ass like a peach
F C/E Dm G
Two legs to a summit that id like to reach
C G/B Am G6
Eyes like to diamond shine under the moon
F C/E Dm G
While I bribe the police on a night in Tulum
[Chorus]
F Dm7b5 C G/B Am Am7/G
It might just be the heat or the sheer lack of sleep or the sun in our eyes
F Dm7b5 G#dim Am
But when the moon sees your shape, you’re a sunset on tape
G Dadd9/F#
There’s no words to describe
Fm
The heat of a night
[Instrumental]
C G/B Am G6 F C/E Dm G
C G/B Am G6 F C/E Dm G
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am G6
Oh, you might say that you’re talking a lot
F C/E Dm G
Baby tell me again cause I already forgot
C G/B Am G6
My head is so heavy, my heart is so steep
F C/E Dm G
But maybe you’re looking for somewhere to sleep
[Verse 4]
C G/B Am G6
I’ve been taking it slow, you’ve been running a lot
F C/E Dm G
Chasing those cellophane dreams that youve got
C G/B Am G6
So much to say and yet so little time
F C/E Dm G
How much weight can I put in a word or a rhyme
[Chorus]
F Dm7b5 C G/B Am Am7/G
This might all be a phase it could just last for days or a week or a year
F Dm7b5 G#dim Am G Dadd9/F#
But when you fall in my chest there’s no words to attest to the way that it feels
Fm
Here in a night
G G#dim
Here in a night
[Bridge]
Am Em
Oh such the case
Bb A7 Dm Dbaug
Our hearts may never leave this place
Dm7/C Bm7b5
At this pace
F G C
They say tomorrow never knows
Em Bb A7 Dm Dbaug
And it shows a million maybes in a bowl
Dm7/C Bm7b5
Dice to roll
F G G#dim Am
A gilded moment trapped in time
Abaug C/G
And I’d have it either way
F#m7b5
Just to say
F
That we felt alright
Ab
In the heat of a night
[Outro]
C G/B Am G6 F C/E Dm G
C G/B Am G6 F C/E Dm G
