   Sometimes you've got to take the heat

If your gonna walk down on the mean street

Take the heat and you see it through Cause sometimes it comes down to

Do what you gotta do

Sometimes it goes right down to the wire

D                      G                D    G D A A A

And you might have to walk through the fire 

          G            Bm                                   A

   Someday they're going to call your name

D                          G         D      G D A A A

They'll come looking for someone to blame

But you'll find out that, sooner or later,

Bm                                      G    A

Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you

Do what you gotta do
