Screen door slam, [C]
Christina [G] dress sweet Like [F] a vision she dances [C] across the porch
[G] As the radio plays Royal [C] Abyss and singing for the lonely
Hey that's [F] me babe and I [D] want you [C] only Don't turn [G] me home again
[D]
Just can't face [G] myself alone again tonight Don't run back inside baby you know
Just what I'm here for So you're [F] scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't [C] that young anymore
[G]
[C] There's magic in [G] the night You ain't [F] a beauty but hey [C] you're alright
[G] And that's all [D] red with me [G] You can hide beneath your covers
[D] And study your pain [G] Make crosses from your lovers
[Em] Throw roses in the rain [G] Waste your summer [D] praying in vain
[C] For a savior to rise from [D] these streets [G] Well I ain't no hero [A] that's understood
All the redemption I can offer bathes beneath this old hood
With one last [D] chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can you do now
[A] Except [G] roll down the window [C] and let the wind [G] blow back your hair
Well the night's busted open [D] and these two lanes will [C] take us anywhere
And we [D] got one last chance to make it real [G] To trade in these wings [C] for some wheels
[G] Climbing back it's waiting [D] down on the tracks
[A] When [G] I try hard Chrissy [D] to understand [G] I'm riding out tonight to [C] kiss the promised [G] land
Baby if you're born with [D] nothing in your hands Hey it's your only chance
[G] Well it's flying out there like a [D] killer in the sun
Yeah I know it's late [C] but we can make it if we run
[G] Oh I [D] wish you could come So [C] leave what you've lost
Leave [D] what's grown old [G] on Thunder Road
Well I [Em] got this guitar and I learned [C] how to make it talk
[G] My car's out back if you're ready to [A] take that long walk
[D] From your front porch to my front seat Hey [G] the door's open but the [C] ride ain't free
[D]
Well [G] there were ghosts in the eyes [C] of the boys that [G] you sent away
They haunt this dirty beach road and the [D] skeleton remains of burned [C] out Chevrolets
They screamed you at night from [G] the street Your graduation [F] gown lies in [C] rags at their feet
[G] And in the lonely [C] cool before [A] dawn From your room [G] you hear their [C]
engines [D] roar on
[G] But when you get to [D] the porch they're gone
[G]
Lost in the wind [E] So Chrissy [Am] climbing
It's [G] a town full of losers and I'm [D] pulling out of here to win
[N]
