Thunder Road Bruce Springsteen
[Intro]
[G]
[Verse 1]
[G]The screen door slams, Ch[C]rissie's dress[G] sways
Like a v[F]ision she dances [C]across the porch as the r[G]adio plays
Roy[C] Orbison singing for the [G#m]lonely
Hey that's[F] me babe and I want you o[C]nly
Don't turn me [G]home again
I [F]just can't face myself [D]alone again toni[C]ght
Don't ru[G]n back inside, baby yo[C]u know just what I'm [G]here for
So you're s[F]cared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young a[C]nymore
[C]Woah and there's magic in the n[G#m]ight
You ain't a[F] beauty, but hey you're al[C]right
And that's al[D]right with me
[Verse 2]
You can [G]hide 'neath your covers and s[D]tudy your pain
Make [G]crosses from your lovers, throw [C]roses in the rain
[G]Waste your summer [D]praying in vain for a [C]saviour to rise from these [D]streets
Well I a[G]in't no hero, that's u[D]nderstood
All the re[G]demption I can offer, babe is be[C]neath this old hood
[G]With one last chance to make it [D]good somehow
Hey w[C]hat else can we do [D]now
Except r[G]oll down the window and [C]let the wind blow b[G]ack your hair
[G]Well the night's bustin' open and these [D]two lanes will take us [C]anywhere
[C]We got one last chance to make it[D] real
To [G]trade in these wings for some[C] wheels
[C]Climb in back, it's waiting down [D]on the tracks
[Verse 3]
[G]When I try hard Chrissie to [D]understand
I'm r[G]iding out tonight to c[C]ase the promised land
[G]Baby if you're born with no[D]thing in your hands
[C]Hey it's your only c[D]hance
Well it's [G]lying out there like a k[D]iller in the sun
Yeah [G]I know it's late but we can [C]make it if we run
[G]Oh I wish you could c[D]ome
So [C]leave what you've lost, leave what's grown[D] old on Thunder[G] Road
Well I g[Em]ot this guitar and I learned h[C]ow to make it talk
And my c[G]ar's out back if you're ready to take that l[D]ong walk
From your f[C]ront porch to my fron[D]t seat
Hey the door's o[G]pen but the ride it ain't [C]free
Climb [D]In
[Verse 4]
[G]Well there were ghosts in the eyes [C]of the boys that you sent aw[G]ay
[G]They haunt this dirty beach road in the sk[D]eleton remains of burnt out [C]Chevrolets
[C]They scream to you at night from the[D] street
Your graduation g[F]own lies in rags at th[C]eir feet
And in the [G]lonely cool before [D]dawn
From your room you[G] hear their engines ro[D]ar on
But when you[G] get to the porch they'r[C]e gone, lost in the [D]wind, so Chrissie climb [Am]in
It's a t[C]own full of losers and I'm [D]pullin' outta here to w[G]in
[Outro]
[G]
