The scr[D]een door slams[G] Mary's d[D]ress waves Like a [D]vision she dances
acr[A]oss the porch As the [G]radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the [A]lonely
Hey that's m[D]e and I want you o[G]nly Don't turn me home again I [D]just can't face
mys[A]elf alone again
Don't r[D]un back inside darling[G] you know just what I'm [D]here for
So you're scared and you're thinking That m[A]aybe we ain't that y[G]oung anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the n[A]ight
D G D A (Riff)
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me

You can h[D]ide neath your covers And st[Bm]udy your pain Make cr[D]osses from your lovers
Throw [G]roses in the rain[D] Waste your summer [F#m]praying in rain
For a s[G]aviour to rise from these st[A7]reets Well now[D] I'm no hero
That's [Bm]understood All the red[D]emption I can offer, girl Is ben[G]eath this dirty hood
[D] With a chance to make it g[F#m]ood somehow Hey wha[G]t else can we do n[A7]ow
Except r[D]oll down the window [G]And let the wind blow [D]back your hair
Well the night's busting open These tw[A]o lanes will take us [G]anywhere
We got one last chance to make it r[A]eal To tr[D]ade in these wings on some wh[G]eels
Climb in back H[D]eaven's waiting on[A] down the tracks
[D]Oh oh come t[Bm]ake my hand R[D]iding out tonight to [G]case the promised land
[D]Oh [F#m]oh Thunder Road, o[G]h Thunder Road [A7]oh Thunder Road
L[D]ying out there like a k[Bm]iller in the sun Hey [D]I know it's late
we can m[G]ake it if we run [D] Oh Thunde[F#m]r Road, sit [G]tight take [A7]hold Thunder [D]Road
Well I [G]got this guitar And I [A]learned how to make it tal[D]k
And my [Bm]car's out back If you're ready to take that l[G]ong [A]walk
From your f[G]ront porch to my front [A]seat The door's[F#m] open but the ride it ain't f[Bm]ree
And I k[G]now you're lone[G/F#]ly For words that[Em7] I ain't [G/D]spoken
But ton[A]ight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken
There were gh[D]osts in the eyes Of al[G]l the boys you [D]sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road In the sk[A]eleton frames of b[G]urned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street[A] Your graduation g[D]own lies in rags at
G Riff starts
their feet And in the...
