F(D) A#(G) F(D) Fsus4(Dsus4)The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
F(D) C(A) A#(G)Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
C(A) F(D) A#(G)Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
F(D) C(A) (Asus4)(A)Don't send me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
F(D) A#(G) F(D) Fsus4 (Dsus4)Don't run back inside, darlin' , you know just what I'm here for
F(D) C(A) A#(G)So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young any more
C(A)Show a little faith, there's magic in the night,
F(D) A#(G)You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
F(D) C(A) Csus4(Asus4) C(A)Oh and that's alright with me
F(D) Dm(Bm) Dmsus4(Bmsus4)You can hide neath your covers and study your pain
F(D) A#(G)Make crosses from your lovers throw roses at the rain
F(D) C(A) A#(G) C(A)Waste your summer praying in vain, for a saviour to rise from these streets
F(D) Dm(Bm) Dmsus4(Bsus4)Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
F(D) A#(G)All the redemption I got to offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
F(D) C(A) A#(G) C(A)With a chance to make it real somehow, hey what else can we do now
F(D) A#(G) F(D) Fsus4(Dsus4)Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
F(D) C(A) A#(G)Well the night's busting open these two lanes will take us anywhere
C(A) F(D) A#(G)We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels
F(D) C(A)Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
F(D) Dm(Bm) F(D) A#(G)Oh oh come take my hand, riding out tonight to case the Promised Land
F(D) C(A) A#(G) C(A)Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder road, oh Thunder Road
F(D) Dm(Bm)Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
F(D) A#(G)Bey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
F(D) C(A) A#(G) C(A) F(D) Fsus4(Dsus4)Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
(/E /F#)
A#(G) C(A) F(D) Fsus4(Dsus4)Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
Dm(Bm) A#(G) C(A)And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
A#(G) C(A)From your front porch to my front seat,
F(D) A#(G)The door's open but the ride it ain't free
A#(G)And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
C(A)But tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
F(D) A#(G) F(D) Fsus4(Dsus4)There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
F(D) C(A) A#(G)They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
C(A)They scream your name at night in the street,
F(D) A#(G)Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
A#(G)And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
C(A) A#(G)But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind
Gm (Em)So Mary climb in,
A#(G) C(A) F(D) Fsus4 F
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win (Dsus4) (D)
