[Am]
[Dm] [F]
[Bb]
[C] [Gm]
[G]
Screen door [F] slams, [Bb]
Mary's dress wave
[G]
Like a vision [Bb] she [D] dances across the porch as [Bb] the radio plays
Words are singing further along
[C]
Hey [F] that's me, and I [Bb] want you only
Don't turn me on again, [Dm] I just can't face [C] myself alone [G] again
[F] Soon I'm back inside, [Bb] won't you know [E] what I'm just [F] here for
[F] So you're [Dm] scared and you're thinking [C] that maybe we ain't [Bb] that young anymore Say it!
[C]
[Bb]
[F] Oh and it's [C]
[D] alright with me Come on!
You've got [F] my eye through your covers [Dm] and study your brain
[F] Make crosses near lovers, [Bb] throw roses in the rain
[F] Waste [Am] your song of prayer in vain, [Bb] what's saved you to last in these [C]
streets
Am [F] I no hero [C] that's [Dm]
understood?
All [F] the redemption I could [Bb] offer grows beneath this dirty hood
With a [Dm] chance to [Am] make it good somehow, [Bb] what else can we [C] do now
Except [F] roll down the [Bb] window and let the [F] wind blow back your head
The nights busted open [Am]
these two legs won't [Bb] take us anywhere
We're on one last chance [C] to make it real
[F] Betraying these wings [Bb] on some wheels
[G] Climbing [F] back, heaven's way down [C] the track
[F] Come [Dm]
take my hand, [A] [F] we're riding out tonight [Bb]
to the case of [F] boxwax
[A]
Thunder Rose, [Bb] Thunder [C] Rose, Thunder Rose
[F] Fly out there [Dm] like a trouble in the [A] sun
[F] When I know it's late, [Bb] we can make it if [F] we run
[Am]
Thunder Rose, [Bb] sit tight, [C] take hold [F] Thunder Rose
[Dm] [F]
[Bb] Well I got this [C] guitar and I learned how to [F] make her talk
I'll
[Dm] call us out back if you're ready to take [Bb] that long [C]
walk
[Bb] From your front porch to my [C] front seat
The [Am] door is open, the ride [Dm] ain't free
[Bm] Hey [Bb] I know you're lonely, there's [Gm] words that I ain't spoken
[C] Tonight girls, we'll be free
All the promises will be broken
[F] They'll be lost in the eyes [Bb] of our [F] boys who said it
They ought as dust to be true
[Am] The sun will refrain [Bb] of burned out chivalries
They scream your name at night in [C] the street
Your [F] graduation down lies the rights [Bb] at their feet
[Am] You're not only cool before dawn
Yeah, [Bb] here at Ragers, we're high on
[Gm] You can feel the porch [C] head gnawing [Bb] on the wind
So Mary, [Gm] climb in
Listen [Bb] down, bull losers, [C] we're pulling out of here to win
