The Promise

  F                             Bb
1.Johnny works in a factory, Billy
              F
 works downtown
Dm                                
Terry works in a rock'n'roll band 
        Gm              F/A     
lookin' for that million-dollar 
Bb
sound
F                             Bb 
I got a job down in Darlington 
                  F
but some nights I don't go
Dm                                
Some nights I go to the drive-in 
   Gm         F/A     Bb
and some nights I stay home

(Bb)                          
I followed that dream just like 
               F
those guys do way up on the
Bb                 F
screen      I drove my Challenger 
down route 9
                Bb               
through the dead ends and all the 
     F
bad scenes
             C                   
And when the promise was broken I 
                           F
cashed in a few of my own dreams

        F
2.Well, I built that Challenger by 
myself
             Bb              F
but I needed money and so I sold it
          Dm
I lived a secret I should-a kept to 
myself
          Gm               F/A  
But I got drunk one night and I told
Bb
 it

Dm               Am
All my life I've fought that fight
    Gm          F/A         Bb
a fight that you can never win
F                      C         
Every day it just gets harder to 
                                 F
live the dream you're believing in

        Gm Am Bb              C 
Thunder Road____   oh baby you 
           F
were so right
        Gm Am Bb                 
Thunder Road____   there's 
                    C         F
something dying down on the highway 
tonight


       F
3.Well I won big once and I hit the 
coast
       Bb                 F
Oh but I paid the big cost
         Dm
Inside I felt like I was carryin' 
broken spirits
   Gm            F/A      Bb
of all the other ones who lost
        Dm                     Am
When the promise is broken you go on
 livin'
       Gm                   F/A   
but it steals something from down 
       Bb
in your soul
              F                    
Like when the truth is spoken and 
        C
it don't make no difference
                              F
something in your heart runs cold

Bb
I followed that dream, through the 
southwestern tracks
       F                        Bb
the dead ends and the two-bit bars
         C
When the promise was broken I was 
far away from home
sleeping in the backseat of a 
           F
borrowed car

        Gm Am Bb                 
Thunder Road____  here's for the 
                C             F
lost lovers and all the fixed games
        Gm Am Bb                 
Thunder Road____  here's for the 
              C         F
tires rushing by in the rain
        Gm Am Bb                 
Thunder Road____  remember Billy 
          C      F
what we'd always say
        Gm Am Bb                 
Thunder Road____  we were gonna 
                       C     F
take it all and throw it all away
