[E]
Well, [A] did they fly you guys from all [F#] over the states?
Is that the story, yeah?
[E] Anybody from [G] the great state of New Jersey [Am] out there?
[A] Oh, come [E] on.
All right, this is for you.
This is [A] for you.

We hear [E] the screen door slam.
[A] Mary's [E] dressed sweet.
Like a vision, she dances [B] across the porch as [A] the radio plays.
Oh, it will be sun singing for [B] the lonely.
[E] It's me and I [A] want you only.
Don't turn me on again.
I just can't face [B] myself alone again.
[E] Well, don't you run back inside, [A] darling.
You know just what I'm here [E] for.
So you're scared and you're thinking that [B] maybe we
ain't [A] that young anymore.
Show a little faith, there's [B] magic in the night.
You ain't [G#] a beauty, but here you are.
[A]
Oh, and that's all right [B] with me.
[E] You can hide beneath your covers and study your [C#m] pain.
[E] Make crosses from your lovers, throw [A] roses in the rain.
[E]
Waste your summer [B] praying in vain for [A] a singer
to rise from [B] these streets.
[E] Well, I'm no hero that's [C#m] understood.
[E] All the redemption I can offer [A]
is beneath this dirty hood.
[E] With a chance to make it good [B] somehow.
[A]
Hey, what else can we [B] do now?
[E] Except roll down the window [A] and let the wind blow [E] back his head.
Well, a night's busted up and these [B] two lanes
will take us [A] anywhere.
We got one last chance to [B] make it real.
They're trading these wings [A] on some wheels.
Climbing back, heaven's waiting [E] down on the [B] tracks.
[E] Well, oh, come [C#m] take my hand.
[E] We're acting out tonight [A] in case the drama's slammed.
Oh, [E] [B] Thunder Road.
[A] Oh, Thunder Road, [B] Thunder Road.
It's [E] flying out there like [C#m] a killer in the sun.
[E] And I know it's late, but we [A] can make it if we're wrong.
[E]
Oh, [B] Thunder Road, sit [A]
tight.
Take [B] hold, Thunder [E] Road.
Well, I [A] got this guitar [B] and I learned how to make [E] it talk.
Get my [C#m] cars out back if you're ready to take [A] that along.
[B] From your [A] front porch to my front [B] seat,
the door's [G#m] open, but the ride ain't [A]
free.
And I know you're lonely, there's words that I ain't spoken.
[B] Tonight we'll be free.
All the promises will be broken.
[E] There were ghosts in the eyes of [A]
all the boys this [E] summer.
They haunt this dusty beach road and the skeleton frames
have burned [A] out Chevrolet's.
They scream your name at night in the street.
[B]
Graduation gown [E] lies in rags at [A] their feet.
[G#m] In the lonely cool before dawn, [A] you hear their engines rolling on.
But when you get [F#m] to the porch, [B] they're gone on the [A] wind.
So merry
[F#m] climbing.
It's a [A] town full of losers, and [E] we're pulling out of here to win.
