D G D A D Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves F#m G Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays A D G Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only D A Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again D G D A D Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for And you're scared and you're thinking that F#m G Maybe we ain't that young any more A Show a little faith, there's magic in the night D G You ain't a beauty but eh, you're all right D A Oh and that's alright with me D G You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain, D G Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain D F#m G A Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets D G Well now I'm no hero that's understood D G All the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood D F#m G A With a chance to make it good somehow hey what else can we do now except D G D A D Roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair F#m G Well the night's busted open 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 Climb in back, heaven's waiting on down the tracks D A D G Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land D F#m G A Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road D F#m Lyin' out there like a killer in the dark D G Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run D F#m G A D Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road G A D So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk Bm G A And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk G A From your front porch to my front seat F#m Bm Door's open but the ride ain't free G Em Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken A Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken D G D There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away Bm They drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of G A Burned-out Chevrolets G A They scream your name at night in the street F#m Bm Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet G Em And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on G A G Em Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in G A D It's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win
