[Bb]
[Fm] [C] [F] Screen door [Bb] slams, [F] Mary's dress [C]
waves, [F] Like a vision she [C] dances across the porch [Bb] as the radio plays.
Roy [F] Orbison [Bb] singing [C] for the lonely, [F] Hey that's me and I want [Bb] you only,
Don't turn me [F] home [Gm] again, [F] I just [C] can't [Dm] face [C] myself [D] alone [C] again,
[F] Don't run [Bb] back [F] [Bb] inside darling you know just [F] what I'm here [C] for,
[F] [C] So you're [F]
[C] scared and [F] you're thinking [C] that maybe we ain't [B] that [Bb]
young anymore,
Sure a little [C] faith is [Bb] magic [C] in the [Bb] night, [Gm] [F] You ain't a [Eb] beauty but hey [Bb] you're alright,
[F] [E] [F] Oh and it's alright [C] with me, [F] You can hide if you cover [Dm] them study your [C] pain,
[F] It crosses you, your lover, [Bb] it's the roses in [F] the rain,
Waste your [Am] summer praying in vain [Bb] for a savior to rise from these dreams,
[F] Well I'm no hero [Dm] that's understood, [F] All the dudes and I've been are [Bb] for girls
[Gm] beneath this [F] dirty hood, With a chance [Am] to make it somehow,
[Bb] Hey what else can we [C] do now, Except [F] roll down the [Bb] window and let the [F] wind
blow back here, Well the nights busted open [Am] these two lanes
will [Bb] take us anywhere, We got one last chance to [C] make it real,
[F] They're trading these wings [Bb] on some wheels, [F]
Climbing [Bb] [F] back a [C] long [F] way [C] down [Gm] on a trail,
[F] Oh come [Dm] take my hand, [F] We're riding out tonight [Bb] to the place we promised [F] land,
Oh [Am] Thunder Road, [Bb] Oh Thunder Road, [C] Oh Thunder [F] Road,
Flying out [Dm] there like a killer in the sun, [F] And I know it's late [Bb] we can make it,
[F] We're on, Oh [Am] Thunder Road,
[Bb] Say Tank, [C]
Tank Ho, [F] Thunder Road,
Well [Bb] I got this guitar [C] and I learned [Bb] how to make [F] it sound,
And [Dm] my car's out back if you're ready to take [Bb] that long [C]
walk,
[Bb] From your front porch to [C] Mathland C, The [Am] door's open but the ride [Dm] ain't free,
[Bb] And I know [Dm] you're lonely for [Gm] words that I ain't [Bb] spoke,
[C] Tonight we'll be free, Oh one of us is who we broke,
[F] And all the ghosts in the [Bb] eyes of all the boys [F] sent away,
They hunt this dusty beach road [Am] in the skeleton cranes [Bb] of burned out chalets,
They scream your name at night [C] in the street, [F] Graduation guys and rags [Bb] at their feet,
[Am] And the lonely crew before dawn, You [Bb] hear their engines roaring on,
[Gm] When [F] you get [Em] to [Dm] the [C] porch [Bb] they're [C] gone [Bb] on their way,
She made a [G] cry [Gm] in the morning,
[Bb] It's a town full of losers,
[C] I'm falling out of [F] here to win,
