From a youtube clip of Shawn playing it live. Written by Shawn and Chuck Cannon.
Chuck plays it different to Shawn but both do it superbly.

A augmentedA standard G+G can be used instead of the Gadd9Gadd9 if desired. Still sounds sweet.

C majorC            FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
It?s Friday night and I?m back again
C majorC    A minorAm        Gadd9Gadd9 Fmaj7Fmaj7
With my old guitar and my trusty grin
   Gadd9Gadd9             A minorAm
And a best you don?t come in here sign
Fmaj7Fmaj7      Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC    FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
Tattooed on this heart of mine

C majorC            FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
From a dirty brown shag carpet stage
C majorC     A minorAm     Gadd9Gadd9  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I sing my songs and I pace the cage
Gadd9Gadd9             A minorAm
Stuck up here in the twilight zone
Fmaj7Fmaj7        Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9  C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
Staring out into the great unknown

C majorC              FMaj9Fmaj9  C majorC
There?s an old Hank Williams figurine
A minorAm      Gadd9Gadd9  FF
Hanging by a guitar string
       Gadd9Gadd9             A minorAm
From the pull chain of the Pabst Blue Ribbon sign
Fmaj7Fmaj7             Gadd9Gadd9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
With a clock that?s stopped on half past nine

C majorC                FMaj9Fmaj9    C majorC
Yeah the time ain?t changed round here in years
A minorAm    Gadd9Gadd9    FF
Same sad story, same old tears
Gadd9Gadd9          A minorAm
Ain?t nobody wants to be alone
Fmaj7Fmaj7      Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
Out here in the great unknown

C majorC            FMaj9Fmaj9    C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
You can find the stool there at the bar
C majorC      A minorAm   Gadd9Gadd9 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Designed to take you nowhere far
Gadd9Gadd9                   A minorAm
They got a mirror back behind the whiskey shelf
Fmaj7Fmaj7            Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC     FMaj9Fmaj9
Where we don?t dare look back at ourselves

C majorC            FMaj9Fmaj9    C majorC    FMaj9Fmaj9
Just past the men?s room down the hall
C majorC    A minorAm        Gadd9Gadd9 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Barely hanging there on a plaster wall
Gadd9Gadd9            A minorAm
A augmentedA faded sticker on the old payphone
Fmaj7Fmaj7        Gadd9Gadd9   C majorC     FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
Says welcome to the great unknown

C majorC          FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC    FMaj9Fmaj9
It?s out beyond the yonder star
C majorC  A minorAm       Gadd9Gadd9   Fmaj7Fmaj7
It?s all up in there where you are
Gadd9Gadd9           A minorAm
By some cosmic wind we?re blown
Fmaj7Fmaj7    Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC    FMaj9Fmaj9    C majorC   FMaj9Fmaj9
Out into the great unknown

C majorC          FMaj9Fmaj9    C majorC    FMaj9Fmaj9
Hopes and dreams and ash and dust
C majorC   A minorAm       Gadd9Gadd9 Fmaj7Fmaj7
It all seems to either rot or rust
Gadd9Gadd9             A minorAm
Souls wrapped in in flesh and bone
Fmaj7Fmaj7       Gadd9Gadd9  C majorC     FMaj9Fmaj9
Heartbeats in the great unknown

C majorC            FMaj9Fmaj9   C majorC
It?s Friday night and I?m back again
