[Verse]
CThere’s a bar right across the street
EmHe’s got a need he just can’t beat
COut on the floor, he Dshuffles his feet Emaway
CHe’ll get the girl ‘cause he looks so fine
EmHe’s gonna win her every time
CHe knows he will, he’s Bdressed to kill, he’s a Emnight owl
[Chorus]
CSo move on, there’s a howl of a night owl Emcalling
CTo belong, she’s crying in the Emnight
CBe strong, find the heart of the night owl Emfalling
CStay up till dawn Buntil the night is Emgone
[Verse 2]
CWhat will become of the restless kind
EmWhere do they go when they’ve done their time
CWearing their hearts out on the line for aDll to sEmee
CMust be the gypsy in their soul
EmThey have a need to rock and roll
CThey always will, theDy’re out there still, they’re tEmhe night owls

[Verse]

There’s a bar right across the street

He’s got a need he just can’t beat

C D Em

Out on the floor, he shuffles his feet away

He’ll get the girl ‘cause he looks so fine

He’s gonna win her every time

He knows he will, he’s dressed to kill, he’s a night owl

[Chorus]

C Em

So move on, there’s a howl of a night owl calling

C Em

To belong, she’s crying in the night

C Em

Be strong, find the heart of the night owl falling

C B Em

Stay up till dawn until the night is gone

[Verse 2]

What will become of the restless kind

Where do they go when they’ve done their time

Wearing their hearts out on the line for all to see

Must be the gypsy in their soul

They have a need to rock and roll

C D Em

They always will, they’re out there still, they’re the night owls

[Chorus]
