Dm
Get out of the heat, get out of the heat
Dm
Get out of the heat
Dm
When the rats are running and the boys are gunning
Bb A Bm
For heads on a tin plate
Bm A G A Bm
You can hear the footfall softly in the back yard
Bm A G A F#5
And the black jack is called face up on the last card

You'd better call your witness in your dirty business
Bb A Bm
Trop tard sera le cri
Bm A G A Bm
Better run while you can, better set the tall sail

There's just one chance to get away

I'll catch up with you another day

I'll close my eyes and count to ten
A F#5 E5
And come right after you again
Bm G
Grab your credit cards
A F#5 E5
Cash in on your resources
Bm G
Take your passport from the drawer
A F#5 E5
Don't stop to change the horses, get out
Dm
Get out of the heat, get out of the heat
Dm
Get out of the heat
Dm
Now can you feel the pressure? Have you got the measure
Bb A Bm
Of being a wanted man?
Bm A G A Bm
Cold drink in your hand, hot sweat on your brow
Bm A G A F#5
And there's no understanding going to help you now

Get out, get out, get out the heat, heat, heat

Get out, get out the heat

Don't stop to change the hor-ses
Bm G A F#5 E5
Notify all parties of an earlier vaca- tion
Bm G A F#5 E5 Dm
No use trying to board the train after it's left the sta-tion
Dm
When the rats are running and the boys are gunning
Bb A Bm
For heads on a tin plate
Bm A G A Bm
You can hear the footfall softly in the back yard
Bm A G A F#5
And the black jack is called face up on the last card
