Thunder Road  Melissa Etheridge



The[E] screen door slam[A]s
Mary's [E]dress waves
Like a vision she dances[B] across the porch
As the [A]radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the [B]lonely
Hey that's [E]me and I want you [A]only
Don't turn me home again
I [E]just can't face myself [B]alone again
Don't [E]run back inside
darling [A]you know just what I'm [E]here for

So you're scared and you're thinking
That [B]maybe we ain't that [A]young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the [B]night
You ain't a [E]beauty, but hey you're al[A]right
Oh and [E]that's alright with [B]me


You can [E]hide 'neath your covers
And [B]study your pain
Make[E] crosses from your lovers
[A]Throw roses in the rain
[E]Waste your summer [B]praying in vain
For a [A]savior to rise from these [B]streets
Well now [E]I'm no hero
That's [A]understood
All the r[E]edemption I can offer, girl
Is [A]beneath this dirty hood
[E]With a chance to make it [B]good somehow
Hey [A]what else can we do [B]now
Except [E]roll down the window
And [A]let the wind blow [E]back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These [B]two lanes will take us [A]anywhere
We got one last chance to make it [B]real
To [E]trade in these wings on some [A]wheels
Climb in [E]back
Heaven's waiting on down the [B]tracks


[E]Oh oh come [A]take my hand
[A]Riding out tonight to [E]case the promised land
Oh [E]oh Thunder Road, [A]oh Thunder Road
[B]oh Thunder Road
[E]Lying out there like a [A]killer in the sun
Hey [E]I know it's late we [A]can make it if we run  
[E] 
Oh[E] Thunder Road, sit [A]tight, tak[B]e hold
Thunder [E]Road
Well I [A]got this guitar
And I [B]learned how to make it [E]talk
And my [A]car's out back
If you're ready to take that [A]long [B]walk
From your [A]front porch to my front [B]seat
The door's [G#m]open but th[A]e ride it ain't free
And [A]I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But [B]tonight we'll be free

All the promises'll be broken
There were [E]ghosts in the eyes
A R
Of all the boys you sent away

They haunt this dusty beach road
In the [B]skeleton frames of [A]burned out Chevrolets
They [B]scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation [E]gown lies in rags at their [A]feet
And in the [A]lonely cool before dawn
You hear their [A]engines roaring on
But when you [Dm]get to the porch they're [B]gone
On the [B]wind, so Mary climb [Dm]in
It's a [A]town full of losers
And I'm [B]pulling out of here to [E]win.
