          D                 G            D      Dsus2 D
Well, the screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
                          A                      G
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
                                 A
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely
            D               G
Hey, that's me, I want you only
                             D                       A        Asus4 A
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
 
              D                                G
So don't you run back inside, darling 'cause you know 
              D         Dsus2 D
just what I'm here for
                                            A                    G
And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we're not that young anymore
                                                         A
Well, show a little faith, 'cause there's magic in the night
              D            G
You ain't a beauty, hey, alright
          D                 A   Asus4 A
Oh, and that's alright with me
 
              D                             Bm
Now you can hide underneath the covers and study your pain
       D                                G
Make crosses from your lovers and throw roses in the rain
D                          A
You can waste your summers praying in vain
       G                         A
For a savior to rise from these streets
 
    D                         Bm
Oh, I'm no hero, and that's understood
          D                          G
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
D                           A
We got a chance to make it good somehow
      G                    A
Well, what else can we do now?
 
       D                         G                           D   Dsus2 D
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair
                                        A                G
This night's busted open, and these two lanes can take us anywhere
                                  A
We got one last chance to make it real
        D                    G
To trade in these wings on some wheels
                            D                       A             Asus2 A
Climb in back, darling, now heaven is waiting down on the tracks
 
D               Bm
So, oh-oh, come take my hand
      D                     G
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
D          A               G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
A
Oh, Thunder Road
 
          D                      Bm
Well it's lying out there like a killer in the sun
      D                              G
And I know that it's late, but we can make it if we run
D            A
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Thunder Road
    G           A               D  Dsus2 D
Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
 
        G                     A                       D   Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
       G                                           A
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long, long walk
           G                     A
From your front porch to my front seat
           D                       G
The door's open but the ride ain't free
                  G*            Em7
And I know you're lonely for things that I haven't spoken
    A
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
 
           D                      G                     D        Dsus2 D
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys that you sent away
                                           A                     G
They haunt these dusty beach roads in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
                                          A
And they scream your name at night in the street
               D                      G
The graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
           F#m
And in the lonely cold before dawn
            G
You hear the engines roaring on
             A
But when you get to the porch they're gone 
         G
On the wind
              Em
So Mary climb in
          G                         A                       D  Dsus2 D
This is a town full of losers, I'm-a pulling out of here to win
