[verse 1]
      D   A
it’s a hot night
      D         A
and I don’t feel like sleepin 
      D        A
I got too much commotion 
       E        A
runnin round my mind 

             D      A
some kind of second sight
          D          A 
I see the meaning of everything 
         D            A
with the fever of the free and easy 
E      A
in the summertime 


[chorus 1]

D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya 
E
you got to steal it 
D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya 
              E
so you better feel it now 


[verse 2]

       D   A
it’s a hot night 
           D       A
I hear the dogs in the distance 
           D         A 
I hear the men comin down the street 
E             A
pickin up the trash 

                 D    A
it sounds like a fist fight 
       D       A 
like a squalid existence 
            D             A
but they’re singin in the dawnin day 
E           A 
like nobody asked 


[chorus 2]

D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya 
E
you got to steal it 
D                  A
ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya 
E
so you better feel it now 


[verse 3]

       D   A
it’s a hot night 
      D          A
and I don’t feel like sleepin 
      D          A
lying next to my lover 
          E        A
and I can hear his dreams 

            D      A
I feel like rising bread 
       D        A
like a hothouse flower 
         D            A
like I’m drunk on whiskey sour 
         E               A
down the street in New Orleans

[verse 4]

       D   A
it’s a hot night 
      D          A
lying next to my lover
            D       A 
and there’s nowhere tomorrow 
       E       A
that I need to get 

         D   A 
so I say not quite
      D               A 
don’t take this night away from me 
  D               A       E    A
I don’t feel like sleepin yet
         D               A        E    A
I said I don’t feel like sleeping
       D               A          E    A
Said I don’t feel like sleeping
