throw roses in the rain

Waste your summer praying in vain

For a savior to rise from these streets
F
Dm
Well I'm no hero, that's understood

All the redemption I can offer, girl

With a chance to make it good somehow

We got one last chance to make it real

To trade in these wings on some wheels

Climb in back,

heaven's waiting down
C
on the tracks

We're riding out tonight to

Lying out there like a killer in the sun

Oh-oh, Thunder Road
Bb

Sit tight, take hold
F
Thunder Road
Bb
Well, I got
Bridge 1
this guitar
C
F
And I learned how to make it talk
Dm
And my car's out back
Bb
C
If you're ready to take that long walk
Bb
C
From your front porch to my front seat
Am
Dm
The door's open but the ride ain't free
Bb
Am
And I know you're lonely for words that
Gm
Bb
I ain't spoken
C
Tonight we'll be free,
all the promises'll be broken
Verse 6
F
There were ghosts in the eyes
Bb
F
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
Am
On the skeleton frames
Bb
of burned out Chevrolets
Bb
C
They scream your name at night in the street
F
Bb
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
Am
And in the lonely cool before dawn
Bb
You hear their engines roaring on
Gm
When you get to the porch
C
Bb
They're gone on the wind
Gm
So Mary, climb in
Bb
It's a town full of losers
C
F
I'm pulling out of here to win
