Screen door [Bb] slams, [F] Mary's just [C] sweet
[C] [F] Lack of vision, she dances [C] across the porch [Bb] as the radio plays
Roy [C] Orbison [Bb] singing [C] for the [Bb] lonely
[C] Hey [F] that's me and I want [Bb] you only
Don't turn me [G] home again, I just [C]
can't [D] face myself alone
[C] [F] Don't run back inside [Bb] darling you know just what [F] I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking that [Am] maybe we ain't that [Bb]
young anymore
Well show a little faith [D] there's magic in the night
You ain't [F] a beauty but hey you're [Bb] alright
[F] [Eb] Oh [F] and [C] it's alright with me
You can [F] hide beneath your [C] covers [Dm] and study your [C] pain
[F] Make crosses from your [Bb] lovers, throw roses in the [F] rain
Waste your [Am] summer praying in vain for a [Bb] savior to rise from these streets
Well [F] now I'm no [C] hero [Dm] that's understood
All the [F] redemption I can offer girl [Bb] is beneath this [Cm] dirty hood
[F] With a chance to [Am] make it good somehow
[Bb] Hey what else can we [C] do now
Except [F] roll down the [C] window [Bb] and let the wind [F] blow back your hair
Well the night's busted open [Am] these two lanes will take [Bb] us anywhere
We got one last chance to [D] make it real
To train in these [Dm] wings on [Bb] some wheels
Climbing [C] back, [F] heaven's [D] waiting down on your tracks
And
[F] it's oh [C] come [Dm] take my [F] hand
We're riding out [C] tonight [Bb] to the case of promised [F] land
Oh [Am]
thunder up, [Bb] oh thunder [C] up
It's [F] flying out there [C] like [Dm] a killer in the sun
[F] Hey I know it's late but [Bb] we can make it, we're right
[C] Oh [Am] thunder up, [Bb] oh
[C] [G] thunder up
Well [F]
[Bb] I got this guitar [C] and I learned how to make [F] it talk
[C]
[F] [Am] And [Dm] my car's out back if you're ready to take that long
[C] From [Bb] your front porch to my [C] front seat
The [Am] door's open but the ride [Dm] it ain't free
[Bb] I know you're lonely and there's [Gm] words that I ain't [Bb] spoken
[C] But tonight we'll be free, [Am] all the promises will be [C]
broken
There [F] were ghosts in the [Bb] eyes of all the boys [Fm] you sent [Dm] away
[F] They haunt this dusty beach [C] road
In [Am] the skeleton frames of [Bb] burned out Chevrolets
They scream [Bb] your name at night in the [C] street
[D] Your graduation [F] gown [Gm] lies in [G] rags at [Bb] their feet
[Am] In the lonely cool before dawn
From your room you hear their engines roar on
But [Gm] when you get to the porch [C] they're gone
On [Bb] the wind, so Mary [Gm] climb in
It's [Bb] a town full of losers [Am] and I'm pulling [Bb] out of [D] here [F] going
Free,
[C]
[F] free,
[Bb] oh
