Well, the [D]screen door slams,[G] Mary's dress[D] waves [Dsus2]       [D]
Like a vision she dances a[A]cross the porch as the [G]radio plays
Roy Orbison is singing for the lo[A]nely
Hey, that's [D]me, I want you o[G]nly
Don't turn me home again, I j[D]ust can't face myself al[A]one again[Asus4]      [A]

So don't you r[D]un back inside, darling 'cause yo[G]u know
just what I'm [D]here for  [Dsus2]        [D]
And you're scared and you're thinking that m[A]aybe we're not that y[G]oung anymore
Well, show a little faith, 'cause there's magic in the ni[A]ght
You ain't a be[D]auty, hey, al[G]right
Oh, and th[D]at's alright with [A]me  [Asus4]        [A]

Now you can hi[D]de underneath the covers and s[Bm]tudy your pain
Make cr[D]osses from your lovers and throw [G]roses in the rain
[D]You can waste your summers [A]praying in vain
For a s[G]avior to rise from these s[A]treets

Oh, [D]I'm no hero, and that's un[Bm]derstood
All the re[D]demption I can offer, girl,[G] is beneath this dirty hood
[D]We got a chance to make it g[A]ood somehow
Well, [G]what else can we do n[A]ow?

Except [D]roll down the window and l[G]et the wind blow back our ha[D]ir  [Dsus2]        [D]
This night's busted open, and these two [A]lanes can take us[G] anywhere
We got one last chance to make it [A]real
To trade[D] in these wings on so[G]me wheels
Climb in back, darling, now [D]heaven is waiting down o[A]n the tracks  [Asus2]        [A]

[D]So, oh-oh, come [Bm]take my hand
We're [D]riding out tonight to [G]case the promised land
[D]Oh-oh-oh-oh[A], Thunder Road, [G]oh, Thunder Road
[A]Oh, Thunder Road

Well it's [D]lying out there like a [Bm]killer in the sun
And I [D]know that it's late, but we can[G] make it if we run
[D]Oh-oh-oh-oh, [A]Thunder Road
Sit [G]tight, take [A]hold, Thunder Ro[D]ad [Dsus2]       [D]

Well, I [G]got this guitar and I [A]learned how to make it t[D]alk [Dsus4]       [D]         [Dsus2]               [D]
And my [G]car's out back if you're ready to take that [A]long, long walk
From your f[G]ront porch to my front[A] seat
The door's [D]open but the ride ain't [G]free
And I know you're [G]lonely for thi[Em7]ngs that I haven't spoken
But [A]tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken

There were [D]ghosts in the eyes of a[G]ll the boys that you s[D]ent away [Dsus2]       [D]
They haunt these dusty beach roads in the s[A]keleton frames of burn[G]ed out Chevrolets
And they scream your name at night in the [A]street
The graduation [D]gown lies in rags at th[G]eir feet
And in the [F#m]lonely cold before dawn
You hear the[G] engines roaring on
But when you [A]get to the porch they're gone
On the wi[G]nd
So Mary climb [Em]in
This is a [G]town full of losers, I'm-a[A] pulling out of here to [D]win[Dsus2]      [D]
