I'm gonna play this song on stage.
And uh, so you think some point during that time I [D#] would have learned the chords to it,
[B] but I don't really know [F#] it.
[C] Whatever.
Whatever it does.
It's been ten [C#] years now, I don't think it's gonna [C] happen.
I'm just gonna Write it!
I'm gonna guess.
You wanna [G] play it in G?
[B] Yeah.
I don't know what that [G] means.
[C] Does that mean you [G] start in G?
Yeah.
[D] So every song you play in a certain key [G#] starts with that note?
Not necessarily.
[E] Stenberg, can you explain it?
You wanna hear me explain it?
This is Mike Stenberg, he's the resident guitarist.
[D#]
It's melodically, it's sort of the same thing.
It's like, it's like you're a dog running after [E] a
I don't know what to do, he got [Am] to it.
[C]
[E] That's pretty good, I didn't know you did that impression also.
[C] [G]
I'll start it and you can come in whenever you want.
Alright.
You guys know the words, you can sing along.
[Bm] I might sing along.

[D] [G]
[C] Turn me on again, [G] I just can't face [D]
myself alone again
[G] Don't run back inside, [C] darling, you know just what [G] I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking that [B] maybe we ain't that [C]
young anymore
You're struggling with faith and magic [D] in the night
You [G] ain't no beauty, but hey, you're [C] alright
Oh, [G] and that's alright [D] with me
[G] You can hide beneath the covers [Em] and stutter your pain
[G] Pick roses for your lovers, [C] throw roses in [G] the rain
Waste your [Bm] summer praying and begging for a [C] savior to rise from [D] these streets
[G] Yeah, I'm no hero, [Em] that's understood
[G] All the redemption I can offer [C] God is beneath this [G] dirty hood
Chance to [B] make it good somehow, [C] hey, what else can we [A] do now?
Except [G] run down the window [C] and let the wind [G] blow back your hair
Yeah, the night's busted open, [B] it's too late, it'll [C] take us anywhere
We got one last chance to [D] make it real
[G] We'll trade in these wings [C] on some wheel
Find me back, [G]
heaven's waiting [D] down the track
And [G] so come [Em] take my hand
[G] We're riding out [C] tonight to chase the promised [G] land
Oh, [F#] Thunder, [C] oh, Thunder, oh, [A] Thunder
Yeah, [G] it's flying out there like a [C] killer in the sun
[G]
I know it's late, but [C] we can make it if we [G] run
Oh, [Bm] Thunder, oh, [C] see you try to [A] take hold
[G] Thunder, oh,
[Bm] now I got [C] this guitar
[D] I'm gonna learn how to make it [G] talk
[Bm] Cars out back, they're ready to take [C] that long walk
Run me from the porch and the mouth [D] on the street
The [Bm] door's open, but the [C] ride ain't free
I know it's late, there's words that I ain't spoken
[D] But tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
There [G] were ghosts in the eyes [C] of all the boys [G] you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
[B] And the skeleton [C] frames were burned out Chevrolet
They scream your name at night in the [A] street
Your [G] graduation gown lies in rags at [C] half -meet
[Am] And the lonely cool before dawn
[A] You [Bm] hear the engines roar on
When you [C] get to the porch, they're gone
On the wind, Mary [A] climbed [Am] in
It's the [C] time for losers [D] and the poor and the weak
