Well, the screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
AG
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
A
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely
DG
Hey, that's me, I want you only
DAAsus4A
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
DG
So don't you run back inside, darling 'cause you know
DDsus2D
just what I'm here for
AG
And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we're not that young anymore
A
Well, show a little faith, 'cause there's magic in the night
DG
You ain't a beauty, hey, alright
DAAsus4A
Oh, and that's alright with me
DBm
Now you can hide underneath the covers and study your pain
DG
Make crosses from your lovers and throw roses in the rain
DA
You can waste your summers praying in vain
GA
For a savior to rise from these streets
DBm
Oh, I'm no hero, and that's understood
DG
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
DA
We got a chance to make it good somehow
GA
Well, what else can we do now?
DGDDsus2D
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair
AG
This night's busted open, and these two lanes can take us anywhere
A
We got one last chance to make it real
DG
To trade in these wings on some wheels
DAAsus2A
Climb in back, darling, now heaven is waiting down on the tracks
DBm
So, oh-oh, come take my hand
DG
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
DAG
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
A
Oh, Thunder Road
DBm
Well it's lying out there like a killer in the sun
DG
And I know that it's late, but we can make it if we run
DA
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Thunder Road
GADDsus2D
Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
GADDsus4DDsus2D
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
GA
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long, long walk
GA
From your front porch to my front seat
DG
The door's open but the ride ain't free
G* Em7
And I know you're lonely for things that I haven't spoken
A
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
DGDDsus2D
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys that you sent away
AG
They haunt these dusty beach roads in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
A
And they scream your name at night in the street
DG
The graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
F#m
And in the lonely cold before dawn
G
You hear the engines roaring on
A
But when you get to the porch they're gone
G
On the wind
Em
So Mary climb in
GADDsus2D
This is a town full of losers, I'm-a pulling out of here to win
