G There's a boy with head
 Pressed up to the window 
CG Of a bus heading out of town
 
G In his breath on the glass
 He draws with his finger 
CG A map of the roads they go down
 
G Circles of streetlights
 Are the only signal 
CG There's people out there in the black
 
G He waves goodbye
 To the town he grew up in 
CG He knows that he'll never come back
 
Am The night outside is five below
D7 His heart is pumping blood
Bm On his lips a perfect smile
CD7 His eyes begin to flood
 
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
G The rumble strip clack
 And the rattling frame 
CG Beat out a pulse on his head
 
G The engine hums
 A humble tune 
CG A melody of rubber and lead
 
G Under lamp-light glow
 And paradise stars 
CG An infinity of dancing white light
 
G He sees that his debt
 Is to experience only 
CG And not to those who plan out his life
 
Am The night outside is five below
D7 The moon is in the sky
Bm His heart is full of perfect joy
CD7 He whispers his goodbye
 
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
 
CGD And tonight he's not gonna come back home
CGD Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
CGD Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
D Ohhh
D Ohhh
 
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
 
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C Where everything could change
GD, C Tonight's the kind of night
GD, C, G
