Intro: F Dm F Bb F Am Bb C
F Bb F
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
C Bb
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
C
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
F Bb
Hey that's me and I want you only
F C
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
F Bb F
Don't run back inside, darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
C Bb
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
C
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
F Bb
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
F C
Oh and it's alright with me
F Dm
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain
F Bb
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
F Am
Waste your summer praying in vain
Bb C
For a saviour to rise from these streets
F Dm
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
F Bb
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
F Am
With a chance to make it good somehow
Bb C
Hey what else can we do now?
F Bb F Bb F
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
Am Bb
These two lanes will take us anywhere
C
We got one last chance to make it real
F Bb
To trade in these wings on some wheels

Lying out there like a killer in the sun

Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
F Am Bb C F
Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold, Thunder Road
F Am Bb C F
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
Dm Bb C
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
Bb C
From your front porch to my front seat
Am Dm
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
Bb Bb/A Gm F
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
C Bb Am Gm
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken
F Bb F Bb F
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
Am Bb
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
C
They scream your name at night in the street
F Bb
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet and in the
Am Bb
Lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on but when you
Gm C Bb Gm
Get to the porch they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
