Tonight's The Kind Of Night
View chords used in this chart
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

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

And tonight he's not gonna come back home

Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home

Ohhh
