G
There's a boy with head

Pressed up to the window
     C                  G
Of a bus heading out of town

G
In his breath on the glass

He draws with his finger
  C                        G
A map of the roads they go down

G
Circles of streetlights

Are the only signal
        C                       G
There's people out there in the black

G
He waves goodbye

To the town he grew up in
   C                           G
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
C                 D7
His eyes begin to flood

G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change
G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change

G
The rumble strip clack

And the rattling frame
C                       G
Beat out a pulse on his head

G
The engine hums

A humble tune
  C                    G
A melody of rubber and lead

G
Under lamp-light glow

And paradise stars
   C                         G
An infinity of dancing white light

G
He sees that his debt

Is to experience only
    C                             G
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
C               D7
He whispers his goodbye

G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change
G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change

C                          G         D
And tonight he's not gonna come back home
     C                    G         D
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
     C                    G         D
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
D
Ohhh
D
Ohhh

G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change
G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change

G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C
Where everything could change
G                             D  C
Tonight's the kind of night
                       G      D  C  G
Where everything could change
