[D]
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances [A] across the porch [D] as [G] the radio plays
Roy [Em] Orbison sang for [A] the lonely
[D] Hey that's me and I want [G] you only
Don't turn me on [D] again, I [Em] just can't face [A] myself alone again
Hey [D] don't run back and hide [G] darling you know just what [D] I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking [F#m] maybe we ain't that [G] young anymore
Have a little faith there's magic in [A] the night
You ain't [D] a beauty but hey you're [G] alright
Oh and that's alright [A] with me
[D] Hey!
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] Hide the covers [G] and study the pain
[D] Make crosses for your lovers, [G] throw roses in the [D] rain
Waste your [F#m] summer praying in vain for [G] a savior to rise from [A] these screams
[D] Well I'm no hero [G] but that's understood
[D] All the redemption I can offer [G] girl is being in this dirty [D] hood
With a chance to [F#m] make it good somehow, [G] baby what else can we [A] do now
[D] Except roll down the window [G] and level [D] back your hair
Well the night's busted open [F#m] these two legs can take [G] us anywhere
We got one last chance to [A] make it real
[D] They're trading these wings for [G] some wheels
Climbing back, heaven's waiting [A] on town tracks
[D] And it's oh come [G] take my hand
[D] We're riding past the night to [G] chase the promised [D] land
Oh [Bm] Thunder Road, [G] oh Thunder Road, [A] oh Thunder Road
[D] It's light out there [G] like a killer in the [D] sun
I know it's late [G] we can make it if we [D] run
Oh [Bm] Thunder Road, [G] sit tight, [A] take hold, [D] Thunder Road
[G] Well I got this guitar [A] and I learned how to make [D] it talk
[Bm] My car's out back if you're ready to take [G] that low
[A] From [G] the front porch to my [A] front seat, the [F#m] door's open but we're riding [Bm] free
I'm [G] loyal only for the words I ain't spoken, [A] tonight we'll be free
All the promises were [Gm] broken, [D] never gonna steal the [G] eyes of all the boys you [D] sent away
They honked this dusty beach road [F#m] in the skeleton phrase [G] of burned-out Chevrolet
They scream your name at night in the [A] street, your [D] graduation gown lies in drags at [G] their feet
And [F#m] in the lonely gloom before dawn, from [G] the room you hear the engine throw it on
But [Em] when you get to the porch, [A] they're gone, [G] all the way
So [Em] Mary, climb right in, [G] it's a town for losers, [A] I've been out [D] ahead of it
