       F             Bb         F
The screen door slams  Mary's 
                       F
dress waves       Like a vision she 
dances
   C                       Bb  
across the porch    As the radio 
plays    Roy Orbison singing for the
    C
 lonely
            F                 Bb  
Hey that's me and I want you only 
                                F
   Don't turn me home again  I just 
can't face
   C
myself alone again
       F                        Bb
Don't run back inside    darling 
                       F
you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
         C                   Bb
   That maybe we ain't that young 
anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic 
        C
in the night
             F                     
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're 
   Bb              F              
alright   Oh and that's alright 
    C
with me
         F                         
You can hide neath your covers  And
   Dm                    F
 study your pain  Make crosses from 
your lovers
      Bb                F         
Throw roses in the rain   Waste 
           Am
your summer praying in vain

       Bb                       
For a saviour to rise from these 
    C7              F
streets   Well now I'm no hero
       Dm                 
That's understood  All the 
    F                          
redemption I can offer, girl Is 
     Bb
beneath this dirty hood
F                          
 With a chance to make it good 
Am                 Bb            
somehow  Hey what else can we do 
     C7
now
        F                     Bb  
Except roll down the window   And 
                   F
let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open   
        C                   
These two lanes will take us 
 Bb
anywhere
We got one last chance to make it 
 C          F                     
real   To trade in these wings on 
       Bb
some wheels
                 F                 
Climb in back   Heaven's waiting on 
C
down the tracks
F           Dm               F  
Oh oh come take my hand     
                  Bb
Riding out tonight to case the 
promised land
F  Am               Bb          
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder 
    C7
Road oh Thunder Road
 F                      Dm        
Lying out there like a killer in 
                F
the sun      Hey I know it's late
        Bb                 F
we can make it if we run   Oh 
         Am         Bb          
Thunder Road, sit tight take 
C7             F
hold   Thunder Road
       Bb                      
Well I got this guitar    And I 
  C                         F
learned how to make it talk
       Dm                          
And my car's out back    If you're 
                    Bb   C
ready to take that long walk
           Bb                    
From your front porch to my front 
  C               Am              
seat  The door's open but the ride
            Dm
 it ain't free
       Bb              Bb/A       
And I know you're lonely   For 
        Gm7      Bb/F
words that I ain't spoken
       C
But tonight we'll be free    All the
 promises'll be broken
             F                     
There were ghosts in the eyes    Of
   Bb              F
 all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road  In
       C                 Bb
 the skeleton frames of burned out 
Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in 
          C                 F
the street Your graduation gown lies
 in rags at
    Bb                        Am
their feet        And in the lonely 
cool before dawn
               Bb                  
You hear their engines roaring on  
              Gm              
 But when you get to the porch 
          C
they're gone
       Bb                  Gm  
On the wind, so Mary climb in    
          Bb
It's a town full of losers
         C                      F  F
And I'm pulling out of here to win.
