[Verse 1]
DmBbADm
There was a time, not too far gone, when I was changed by just a song
DmBbADm
On the radio, in the car, the pounding electric guitars
DmBbADm
Then the time came to make a stand, we started up a four-piece band
DmBbADm
And the heat felt like spotlights, in the heart of a hot summer night, yeah
[Chorus]
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
[Verse 2]
DmBbADm
Return with me to when times were best, we were friends who could pass any test
DmBbADm
We shared our hopes, our dreams, and our goals and the Fundamental Roll
DmBbADm
As we sang in the hot, dark rooms, happy just to play our tunes
DmBbADm
It felt good when we did it right, it felt good on a hot summer night, yeah
[Chorus]
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights, yeah
[Instrumental]
Dm Bb A Dm x2
[Verse 3]
DmBbADm
And so it lives, and it always will, the songs we've sung are in us still
DmBbADm
Ringing out with all their might, in the heart of a hot summer night, yeah
[Chorus]
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
DmBbADm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hot summer nights
