[Am]
[Bm] [C] [G] I got a little job down in Darling [C] But some nights I don't [G] go
[Em] Some nights I go diving Oh, [Am] some [Bm] nights I [C] stay home
I follow the dream Just like those guys [G] do up on [C] the street
And I drove a Challenger down the road to the [G] dead ends
And all I've [C] been saying is [D] when the promise was broke
I can't stand [A] it, I sold my [G]
dreams [D] Well, [G] I built that Challenger by myself
But I [C] needed money and so [G] I sold it [Em] I lived a secret I should have kept to myself
But [Am] I got drunk one [Bm] night and [C] I told [Em] All my life I [Bm] helped this fight
[Am] The fight that [Bm] no man can [C] ever win [G] Every day it just [D] gets harder to live
This dream I'm believing [G] in
[Am]
[Bm] [C] Thunderhole
Oh baby, [E] you're what I'm so [G] proud of
[Am]
[Bm] [C] Thunderhole
There's some dying down on [D] the highway to the light
[C]
[G] [C]
[G] I won't be one to ride the coast But [C] somehow I paid the big [G]
cost
Inside [Em] I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
[Am] Of all the other [Bm] ones who [C] loved
When [Em] the promise is broken [Bm] You go on and learn
But [Am] it's still something [Bm] from down in your [C] soul
Like when [G] the truth is spoken And it [D] don't make no difference
Something in your heart is cold
[Am] Thunderhole
[C]
For the lost lovers [D] and all the fixed gains
[G]
[Am] [Bm] Thunderhole
[C]
For the tires rushing by in the [G] rain
[Am] Thunderhole
[Bm] [C]
Remember with me, Amber, we'd always [G] sing
[Am] Thunderhole
[Bm] [C] We were gonna take it all, then throw [D] it all [G] away
