RE SOL RE-A-D
Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
FA#m SOL
Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays
LA RE SOL
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
RE LA
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
RE SOL RE-A-D
Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for
And you're scared and you're thinking that
FA#m SOL
Maybe we ain't that young any more
LA
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
RE SOL
You ain't a beauty but eh, you're all right
RE LA
Oh and that's alright with me
RE SOL
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain,
RE SOL
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
RE FA#m SOL LA
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
RE SOL
Well now I'm no hero that's understood
RE SOL
All the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
RE FA#m SOL LA
With a chance to make it good somehow hey what else can we do now except
RE SOL RE-A-D
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair
FA#m SOL
Well the night's busted open these two lanes can take us anywhere
LA
We got one last chance to make it real
RE SOL
to trade in these wings on some wheels
RE LA
Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks
RE LA RE SOL
Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land
RE FA#m SOL LA
Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road
RE FA#m
Lyin' out there like a killer in the dark
RE SOL
Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
RE FA#m SOL LA RE
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
SOL LA RE
So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
SIm SOL LA
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
SOL LA
From your front porch to my front seat
FA#m SIm
Door's open but the ride ain't free
SOL SOLM7 MIm7 MIm
Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken
LA
Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken
SOL LA RE
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
SIm
They drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
SOL LA
burned-out Chevrolets
SOL LA
They scream your name at night in the street
FA#m SIm
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
SOL MIm
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
SOL LA SOL MIm
Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
SOL LA RE
It's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win
