[G] [F#] [A]
[D] Well the screen door slams, Mary's dress wake, [Bm] like a vision she dances across the porch
[G] as the radio plays.
[A]
[D] Roy Orbison's singing for the [A] lonely, hey that's me and [D] I want you only.
Don't turn me home again, I just [A] can't face myself alone again.
[D] Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for.
[A]
So [Bm] you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't so young [A] anymore.
[G] Sure a little faith there's magic in the [A] night, you ain't no beauty but hey you're [G] alright.
[D] Oh and that's alright [A] by me.
You [D] can hide beneath your covers and study your pain, make crosses for your lovers, throw
roses in the rain.
[B] Waste your summer [Bm] praying in vain [G] for a savior to [Am] rise from these streets.
[A] Well now I'm no hero, [D] that's understood.
All the redemption I can offer lies beneath this dirty hood.
[G] With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we [A] do now?
[D] [A] [D] Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair.
[C#m] Well [Bm] the night's busted open, these two lanes will take [G] us anywhere, [A] anywhere.
We [D] got one last chance to make it real, [A] trade in these wings [D] on some wheels.
Climb [Bm] on back, heaven's waiting [A] down on the [D] [A] tracks.
[D] And it's oh come take my hand, come ride tonight [G] to cage this promised [D] land.
[Bm] Oh Thunder [D] Road, oh Thunder Road, [A] oh Thunder Road.
[D] We'd line up there like [G] a killer in the [D] sun, a yalow slate, maybe [G] we can make it if we [D] run.
[Bm] Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, [A] take hold, [D] [E] Thunder [D] Road.
[G] Well I got this guitar and I learned how to [Bm] make her talk, yeah.
[G] And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long.
[A] [D] From your front porch to my front [A] seat, the door's open but the ride ain't [G] free.
Listen, I know [Bm] you're lonely for words I [B] haven't spoken, but [A] tonight we'll be free, all them promises will be broken.
And those [D]
ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away,
[F#m] they [Bm] haunt this dusty beach road and the skeleton [F#m] frames of [G] burned out Chevrolets.
[A]
[D] They scream your name at night in the [A] street, the graduation gown lies at their [G] feet.
Tell the lonely cool before dawn, [A] you hear the engines roaring on.
[D] But when you get to the porch, they're gone.
I'm on the [G] wind, very climbing.
[A]
[D] Well it's time for losers and I'm [F#m] pulling out of [A] here to win.
