[Verse 1]
F                   A#        F
Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves,
                            C                     A#
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays,
                            C                 F                 A#
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey thats me and I want you only,
                           F                C
Don't turn me home again I just cant face myself alone again...
F                            A#                     F
Dont run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for, 
                             C             A#
So you're scared and you're thinkin that maybe we ain't that young anymore,
                                          C                F                      A#
Show a little faith there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright...
              F            C
Oh and that's alright with me...
 
[Verse 2]
        F                             Dm                    F                         A#
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
F                  Am                   A#                        C7
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets,
        F                      Dm                  F                             A#
Well now I'm no hero thats understood, all the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
F                         Am                   A#              C7
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now? except
 
[Verse 3]
F                        A#                F
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair,
                                     C                      A#
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere,
                                     C     F                           A#
We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels,
                  F                    C
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks...
 
[Verse 4]
  F          Dm         F                    A#
Oh oh come take my hand riding out tonight to case the promised land
F        Am              A#              C7
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road,
F                     Dm                      F                       A#
Lying out there like a killer in the sun, hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
F                  Am        A#          C7            F
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road...
 
[Verse 5]
       A#                     C                      F       Dm                                      A#    C
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk, my cars out back if yer ready to take that long walk
          A#                     C                Am                           Dm
From your front porch to my front seat, the door's open but the ride it ain't free
      A#                    Gm                           C
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken, tonight we'll be free all the promises will be broken
 
[Verse 6]
           F                        A#             F
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                                         C                  A#
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets 
                                           C                F                           A#
They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
             Am                                    A#
And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on
              Gm                     C           A#                 Gm
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind, so Mary climb in
        A#                       C                     F
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win
