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