[Dm]
[F] The [Bb] [Gm]
[F] [Am]
[G] screen door [Bb] slams, [F] Mary's dress [C] waves
[F]
Lack of vision she dances across the porch as [Bb] the radio plays
Roy Orbison's [D] singing for the lonely, [F] hey that's me and I want [Bb] you only
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face [C] myself alone again
[F] Don't run back [Bb] inside darling you know just [F] what I'm here for
[C] So you're scared and you're thinking [C] that maybe we [B] ain't that [Bb] young anymore
Show a little faith there's magic [C] in the night
[F] You ain't a beauty but hey [Bb] you're alright, oh [F] yeah and that's alright
[C] You [F] can hide under covers [Dm] and study your [F] pain
Make crosses for your [Bb] lovers, throw roses in the [F] rain
[Am] Waste your summer praying in vain [Bb] for a savior to rise from these dreams
[F] Well now I'm no hero [Dm] that's understood
[F] Oh and now I'm trying to get [Bb] on for girls beneath this [F] dirty hood
With a chance to [Am] make it somehow, [Bb] hey what else can [C] we do now
Except [F] throw down the [Bb] window and let the [F] wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busted open [Am] these two lanes will take [Bb] us anywhere
We got one [F] last chance to make it real
Betrayed in these winds on [Bb] somewheres
Climbing back in those windows and
[G]
[F] Come [Dm] take my hand, right now tonight to [Bb] face [Gm] my promised land
[F] [Am] Thunder Road, [Bb] Thunder Road, [C] Thunder Road
[F] Light it up [Dm] there like a killer in the sun
[F] I know it's late we [Bb] can make it, we're on
[F] [Am] Thunder Road, stand tight, [C] take hold, [F] Thunder Road
[Bb] Well I've got this guitar and I learned how to [F] make it talk
And [Dm] lock cars out back if you're ready to take [Bb] that [C] long walk
[Bb] From your front porch to the [C] bathroom seat
[Am] The door's open but the [Dm] rat ain't free
And [Bb] I know you're lonely [Gm] for words that [Bb] ain't spoke
[C] Tonight we'll be free, [C] all our promises will be broke
Like a [F] lone ghost in the eyes [Bb] of all the boys that sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road [Am] and the skeleton cranes from [Bb] burned out chalets
They scream your name at night in the [C] street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at [Bb] their feet
And the [Am] lonely groove before dawn
You hear the [Bb] engines roaring on
[Gm] When you get to [Dm] the porch, stand [Bb] on the way
See [Gm] Mary crying
[G]
[Bb] It's a town full of losers, [C] a barn out [F]
