  			            D 
The heat is on, on the street 
                           G 
Inside your head, on every beat 
                  D 
And the beat's so loud, deep inside 
                                   G 
The pressure's high, just to stay alive 
                     D 
'Cause the heat is on 
 
Chorus:    
 
D 
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho 
Am7 
Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you 
D 
Oh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho 
Am7 
(Tell me can you feel it) 
(Tell me can you feel it) 
(Tell me can you feel it) 
            D 
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on 
               G                        D 
Oh it's on the street , the heat is  -  on 
 
Chorus AGAIN 
 
The shadows high on the darker side 
Behind those doors, it's a wilder ride 
You can make a break, you can win or lose 
That's a chance you take, when the heat's on you 
When the heat is on 
 
Chorus 
 
It's on the street 
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on 
Yeah it's on the street 
The heat is on
