          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
