[F] Like a Digi she dances [C]
across the porch as the [Bb] radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
[F]
[C] [F] That's me and I don't want you [Bb] lonely
Don't turn me on again
I [F] just can't face myself [C] alone anymore
Well, [F] don't you run back and say, [Bb] darling, you know just [F] what I'm here for
[C] So [F] you're scared and you're thinking [C] that maybe we ain't so
[Bb]
Well,
[C]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
[F] [G] that's all right with [C] me
[D] You [C]
can [F] hide beneath your covers and [Dm] study your pain
[C] [F] Make crosses for your lovers, [Bb] throw roses in [C] the [F] rain
Waste your summer [Am] praise in vain
For [Bb] a savior to rise for me [C] streets
[F] Well, I'm no hero [C]
that's [Dm] understood
[Em] All the [F] redemption I can offer
[Bb] A girl's pity is dirty [F] hood
With a chance to make it good [Am]
somehow
[Bb] Hey, what else can we [C] do now
[Bb] [C] Except [F] roll down the [Am] window [Bb] and let the wind blow [F] back your hair
[C] [Em] [F] Well, the night's busted open, these [Am] two lanes will take us [Bb]
anywhere
We got one last chance to make it [C] real
[Dm] [E] Trading [F] these wings on some [Bb] wheels
Climbing back, [F] [Bb] heaven's waiting [F] down [C] the tracks
[D] [C]
Whoa, [F] [C]
[Dm] gonna take my hand
[Em] [F] Riding out tonight [Bb] to chase the [C] promised [F] land
Whoa, [Am] Thunder Road, [Bb] Thunder Road, Thunder [C] Road
Hey, [F] slide out there like a [G] killer in [Dm] the sun
[C]
[F] Yeah, I know it's late, but we can [Bb] make it if we [F] run
Whoa, [Am] Thunder Road, [Bb] sit tight, [C] take off
Well, [F] [G] [F]
[Bb] I got this guitar and I [C] learned how to make it [F] talk
My
[C] [Dm] car's out [E] back if [Dm] you're ready to take [Bb] that long [C] walk
Come [Bb] to your front porch in my [C] front seat
The door [Am] is open, but the ride, it ain't [Dm] free
[Gm] I [Bb] know you're lonely, those words [Gm] that I ain't [Bb] spoken
But [C] tonight, girl, we'll be [Bb] free
All [C] the [Am] promises will be [C] broken
Though [F] a ghost in the [C] eyes [Bb] of all the boys [F] you sent away
[Gm]
They [F] haunt this dusty beach road
And the [Am] skeleton frames of burned [Bb]-out
[F] Chevrolets
[Bb] They scream your name at night in the [C] street
[G] Your [C] graduation [F] gown lies in rags at [Bb] their feet
[Am] In the lonely cool before dawn
You hear [Bb] their engines roaring on
[F] But [Gm] when they get you to the porch, [Dm] [C] they're gone on the [Bb] wing
So merry, [Gm] climb in,
[F] it's a [Bb] town full of losers
[Fm] We're pulling out of [F] here, oh [G] yeah
