Thunder Road

	  		
          D                 G            D      Dsus2 D 
Well, the screen door slams, Mary's dress waves 
                          A                      G 
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays 
                                 A 
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely 
            D               G 
Hey, that's me, I want you only 
                             D                       A        Asus4 A 
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again 

              D                                G                               
So don't you run back inside, darling 'cause you know  
              D         Dsus2 D 
just what I'm here for 
                                            A                    G 
And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we're not that young anymore 
                                                         A 
Well, show a little faith, 'cause there's magic in the night 
              D            G 
You ain't a beauty, hey, alright 
          D                 A   Asus4 A 
Oh, and that's alright with me 

              D                             Bm 
Now you can hide underneath the covers and study your pain 
       D                                G 
Make crosses from your lovers and throw roses in the rain 
D                          A 
You can waste your summers praying in vain 
       G                         A 
For a savior to rise from these streets 

    D                         Bm 
Oh, I'm no hero, and that's understood 
          D                          G 
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood 
D                           A 
We got a chance to make it good somehow 
      G                    A 
Well, what else can we do now? 

       D                         G                           D   Dsus2 D 
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back our hair 
                                        A                G 
This night's busted open, and 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             Asus2 A 
Climb in back, darling, now heaven is waiting down on the tracks 

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

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

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

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