Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][G][D][F#m][G]
[D][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]A screen door slams,
[G]Mary's dress swa[D]ys[A][D]
Like a vision she dances [A]across the porch
As the [G]radio plays
Roy [D]Orbison singing [Bm]for the [A]lonely
Hey, [F#m]that's [D]me, and I want you [G]only
Don't turn me home again
[D]I jus[A]t can[D]'t fac[F#m]e myself[Bm]
[A]alone aga[Asus4]in[A]
Don't [D]run back inside, darling
[G]You know just what I'm [D]here [A]for[D][A]
So [D]you're scared and you're thinking
That [A]maybe we ain't
that [G]young anymore
Show a little faith,
there's ma[A]gic [G]in the [A]night
[G]You ain't a bea[D]uty but,
[Em]hey, you're [D]al [G]right
[D]Oh, [A]and tha[D]t's alright wit[A]h me[Asus4][A]

[Verse 2]
You can [D]hide 'neath your covers
and [Bm]study your pain
[D]Make crosses from your lovers,
[G]throw roses in the [D]rain
Waste your summer [F#m]praying in vain
For a sa[G]vior to rise from
these [A]streets[Asus4]
Well now [D]I'm no hero, that's un[Bm]derstood
All the [D]redemption I can offer, girl
Is [G]beneath this dirty hood
[D]With a chance to make it goo[F#m]d somehow
Hey, [G]what else can we do [A]now?
Except [D]roll down the window
And [G]let the wind blow [D]back your hair
Well, the night's busting open
These [F#m]two lanes will take us an[G]ywhere
We got one last chance to make it [A]real
[D]To trade in these wings
on [G]some wheels
Climb [D]in back[G],
[D]heav[A]en's waiting [Bm]down [A]on [Asus4]the tracks[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh- oh, come take [Bm]my hand
We're [D]riding out tonight [G]to case
the promised [D]land
[F#m]Oh- oh, Thunder Road
[G]Oh, Thunder Road, [A]oh, Thunder Road
[D]Lying out there like a k[Bm]iller in the sun
Hey, [D]I know it's late,
we [G]can make it if we run
[D]Oh- [F#m]oh, Thunder Road
Sit [G]tight, take [A]hold
Thunder [D]Road

[Verse 4]
Well, I got [G]this guitar
And I [A]learned how to make it [D]talk
And my [Bm]car's out back
If you're ready to take that [G]long [A]walk
From your [G]front porch to my front [A]seat
The door's [F#m]open but the ride ain't f[Bm]ree
And [G]I know you're l[Bm]onely for words
that [Em]I ain't spo[G]ken
To[A]night we'll be [Asus4]free,
all [A]the promises'll be broken

[Verse 5]
There were [D]ghosts in the eyes
Of [G]all the boys you sent [D]away
They haunt this dusty beach road
On [F#m]the skeleton frames of
[G]burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night
in [A]the street
Your graduation [D]gown lies
in rags at [G]their feet
And in the [F#m]lonely cool before dawn
You hear their [G]engines roaring on
When you [Em]get to the [C#m]porch
[Bm]They[A]'re gone on the wind[G]
So Mary, climb [Em]in
It's a town [G]full of losers
I'm [A]pulling out of here to win
