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

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

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