Thunder Road

												
F(D)             A#(G)          F(D)    Fsus4(Dsus4)
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
       F(D)               C(A)          A#(G)
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
                   C(A)               F(D)              A#(G)
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
                   F(D)           C(A)       (Asus4)(A)
Don't send me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
      F(D)              A#(G)         F(D)    Fsus4 (Dsus4)
Don't run back inside, darlin' , you know just what I'm here for
          F(D)                   C(A)                A#(G)
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young any more
                        C(A)
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night,
            F(D)           A#(G)
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
       F(D)                C(A)   Csus4(Asus4) C(A)
Oh and that's alright with me

        F(D)              Dm(Bm)     Dmsus4(Bmsus4)
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain
     F(D)                  A#(G)
Make crosses from your lovers throw roses at the rain
F(D)              C(A)          A#(G)             C(A)
Waste your summer praying in vain, for a saviour to rise from these streets
         F(D)                Dm(Bm)    Dmsus4(Bsus4)
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
          F(D)                   A#(G)
All the redemption I got to offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
F(D)            C(A)              A#(G)               C(A)
With a chance to make it real somehow, hey what else can we do now
       F(D)                 A#(G)                 F(D)           Fsus4(Dsus4)
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
         F(D)              C(A)          A#(G)
Well the night's busting open these two lanes will take us anywhere
                         C(A)     F(D)                A#(G)
We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels
              F(D)             C(A)
Climb in back,    heaven's waiting down on the tracks

F(D)       Dm(Bm)        F(D)         A#(G)
Oh oh come take my hand, riding out tonight to case the Promised Land
F(D)     C(A)             A#(G)            C(A)
Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder road, oh Thunder Road
F(D)          Dm(Bm)
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
    F(D)                 A#(G)
Bey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
F(D)     C(A)                 A#(G)       C(A)          F(D)   Fsus4(Dsus4)
Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road

(/E /F#)
       A#(G)                 C(A)          F(D)  Fsus4(Dsus4)
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
       Dm(Bm)                    A#(G) C(A)
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long  walk
          A#(G)          C(A)
From your front porch to my front seat,
           F(D)              A#(G)
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
A#(G)
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken
      C(A)
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken
           F(D)         A#(G)            F(D)       Fsus4(Dsus4)
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                F(D)           C(A)               A#(G)
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
                    C(A)
They scream your name at night in the street,
                F(D)              A#(G)
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
A#(G)
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
                     C(A)        A#(G)
But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind
         Gm (Em)
So Mary climb in,
       A#(G)              C(A)          F(D)   Fsus4   F
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win   (Dsus4) (D)
