[Verse 1]
    F
The heat wave don't break
       Am
What's left of this town
        Gm
Will be lost in the lake
The fire surrounds
F                            C
Our love could burn twice as bright
    Gm                    F
But it's not that kind of night

[Verse 2]
F
Before everything you know
     Am
That I've ever known
Gm
Turns into something
For me to let go of
F                        C
I wish I was holding you tight
    Gm                    F
But it's not that kind of night

[Chorus]
  C
A telephone call
Some place in the dark
            Gm                F
It's like a razor blade line across
 my heart
C
Scratch marks on diamonds
Thrown into the street
  Gm                        F
Oh I wanted you more than I cared
about me

[Verse 3]
     F
If a life is as long
   Am
As someone is deep
              Gm
You dropped a quarter in the well
And you never heard a thing
           F
But at the bottom is where
            C
I found the light
    Gm                         F
But it's not that kind of night

[Chorus]
        C
Oh your widening eyes
On the one way street
    Gm
The cars went all crooked
       F
As you smashed everything
C
No more goodbyes
No more tears or lies
  Gm                    F
I loved you more than I loved
my own life

[Verse 4]
             F
So when they board up the mansion
    Am
The motel is fine
     Gm
I'll wait by the window
For your car to drive by
    F                    C
And dream you back by my side
    Gm                         F
But it's not that kind of night

[Outro]
F                        C
I wish I was holding you tight
    Gm                          Fmaj7
But it's not that kind of night
