Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you start.
You start, I'll just follow you.
This was your [E] idea.
I know, I know.
[A]
Well the [Dm] screen door slammed, Mary's dressed sweet.
Like a vision she dances [A] across the porch [D] as the radio plays.
Call me Orbus and sing in [A] for the lonely.
[D] That's me and I want [G] you only.
Don't turn me home again.
[D] I just can't face myself alone [A] again.
[D] Don't you run back inside darling, you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking to [A] me, we ain't that [G] young anymore.
Show a little faith, there's magic in [A] the night.
You ain't [D] a beauty but [G] hey, you're alright.
Oh, [D] and that's alright [B] with [A] me.
I'll hide beneath your covers [Bm] and study your pain.
[D] Make crosses for your lovers, throw [G] roses in the rain.
[D] Waste your summer praying in vain for a saving rise from [A] these streets.
[D] Well I ain't no hero, that's [Bm] understood.
All the [Dm] redemption I can offer, girl, [G] is beneath your study [D] hood.
With a chance to make it [A] good somehow, baby [G] what else can we do [A] now?
Except [D] roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair.
Well the night's busting open these [A] two lanes, it'll take us [G] anywhere.
We got one last chance to [A] make it real, [D] and trade in these wings on [G] some wheels.
Climb it back girl, [D] heaven's waiting down on the tracks.
[A]
Oh, now [Bm] take my hand, [A] we're riding out tonight [D] to kiss the promised land.
Oh,
[A] Thunder Road, [G] Oh, Thunder Road, [A] Oh, Thunder Road.
It's laying out there like [Bm] a killer in the sun, I know [Dm] it's late, we can make [G] it if we run.
[D] Oh,
[A] Thunder Road, [G] sit tight, [A] take hold, [D] Thunder Road.
Well [G] I got this guitar and [A] I learned how to make a car.
Certainly did.
[Bm] Get the cars out.
It didn't take [G] that long.
[A] [G] From your front porch to my front [A] seat, [D] the door is open but the [G] ride, it ain't free.
Now I know you're lonely and there's [A] words I ain't spoke, but tonight we'll be free, and the promises will be broke.
There were ghosts in the [D] eyes of all the boys you sent away.
Like these dusty beach roads [A] and the skeleton [D] frames of burned out Chevrolets.
They scream your name at night in the street.
[A] The graduation gown lies in rags at their feet.
[G] And [F#m] the lone echo before dawn.
[G] Hear the engines roaring on.
When you get [Em] to the porch, they're [D] gone.
On my way.
So merry, [Em] clan.
[G] And so down for [D] losers, I'm pulling out of here to win.
