_ _ _ _ _ Bruce Springsteen. _
_ He's a fella.
I _ remember going home, I'd go home after school or whatever, and I'd plug my 8-track in.
_ _ It's true, it's true.
Plug my 8-track in and I'd listen and I would dream.
If anybody could make a dream, it was Bruce Springsteen, right? _ _ _ _ _
I'd close my eyes under the big Koss headphones, about this big, _ and I would listen and I would say,
oh man, I want that.
I want it.
I want to sing.
I want to scream.
I want to stand up.
I want to write.
I want to tell everybody how I feel. _
And I started to do that.
He was very influential.
_ _ _ One of the things I always wanted to do was _ _ _ to sing with Bruce Springsteen.
_ _ _ _ _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
what would happen if you asked?
If you said, [B] _ hello Bruce.
_ Melissa, you _ [N] got a minute?
_ _ You want to, maybe?
_ _ _ And what would you do if you were me?
And _ he said yes.
Ladies _ and gentlemen, come on.
Give it up for the man, [Bm] Mr.
Bruce Springsteen.
_ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _

_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh man.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] I mean, I used to do Springsteen songs and they would do that and I'd say, [Abm] oh no, they're booing me.
[F] _ _ _
I didn't feel bad until he said, he used to think that too.
_ We _ _ _ _ better be good now.
[Fm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The _ screen door [Bb] slams and the room [F] is dressed in red
Like _ a vision she dances across the porch [Bb] as the radio _ plays
_ _ Royal Harbors and singing for [C] the lonely
[F] Yeah, that's me and I want [Bb] you only
Don't send me home again, I [F] just can't face _ myself alone
[C] _ Well, [F] _ don't you run back inside, [Bb] darling, you know just what [F] I'm here for
_ _ _ _ So you're scared and thinking that maybe we ain't that [Bb] young anymore
_ _ Wish your little faith has magic [Fm] in the [C] night
[F] And beauty but hair [Bb] on the rise _ _ _
Boy, [F] it's all right [C] with [F]
[C] me
_ _ _ [F] Digging high in the covers and [Dm] study your pain
[F] Make roses from your [Bb] lovers, throw roses in the [Em] rain
[F] _
Waste your summer, pray it in _ vain
[Bb] Save your eyes [C] from the street
_ [F] Well, I'm no hero, [Dm] it's understood
All [F] the redemption I got to offer, [Bb] girl, is beneath this dirty [F] hood
A chance to make it real somehow, [Bb] tell me what else can we do [C] now
[F] Except roll down the [Bb] window and let the [F] wind blow back in your hair
_ All the nights busted open, these two lanes will [Bb] take us _ anywhere
_ We got one last chance [C] to make it real
[F] _
Chaining these wings [Bb] on some wheels _
Climbing back, [F] _ heaven's waiting [B] down [C] the track
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
Oh, come [Dm] take my [G] hand
[F] We're riding out [Bb] tonight to chase the [F] promised land
_ _ _ Oh, Thundero, [Bb] oh, _ Thundero, [C] oh, _ [F] Thundero
It's not our fault [Dm] not to cure the sun
[F] I know this [Bb] lady, we can't make it if we're [F] wrong
Oh, _ _ _ Thundero, [Bb] sit tight
Say [C] hello, _ [F] _ _
Thundero
I _ _ _ [Bb] got this [Gm] guitar [C] and I learned, I learned how [F] to make it talk
_ _ _ _ [C] And my [Dm] car's out back, if you're ready [Am] to take [Bb] that _ _ [F] long [C] walk
From [Bb] here, front porch to my [C] front seat
The [F] door is open, but the [Am] [Bb] ride ain't free
_ [C] _ [Bb] I know you love the words that I ain't spoke
[C] And I will be free
I promise it will [F] go, and hell, I ain't gonna stay
[Bb] As all the boys [F] you sent away
_ They hopped this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames
And [Bb] burned out _ _ Chevrolet's
They're screaming in the night in the [C] street
With [F] graduation gown eyes and rags at [Bb] their feet
_ [F] And the lonely crew before the dawn
_ [Bb] You hear their engines roaring on
_ When you get to the porch, [C] they're _ [D] gone [Bb] with the wind
_ _ _ See Mary [G] climbing, [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] she's two hours further
[C] We're pulling out [Fm] of _ [C] _ here [Fm] to [F] win _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _
