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
