[Verse]
GC G
The screen door slams,Christie's dress waves
F C G
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
C G
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely,
F C
hey that's me babe and I want you only
G C G
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again tonight
C G
Don't run back inside, baby, you know just what I'm here for
F
So you're scared and you're thinking that
C G
Maybe we ain't that young any more
C G
Woman, there's magic in the night
F C
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right
D
Oh and that's alright with me
GC/G D
You can hide beneath your covers and study your pain,
G C
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
G D C D
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
G C/G D
Well I aint no hero that's understood
G C
All the redemption I can offer babe is beneath this old hood
GD
With one last chance to make it good somehow
C D
hey what else can you do now except
G C G
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
D C
Well the night's busting open and these two lanes can take us anywhere
D
We got one last chance to make it real
GC
to trade in these wings for some wheels
GD
Climb in back, it's waiting down on the tracks
G C/G D
Well I tried hard Christie to understand
G C
I'm ridin' out tonight to case the promised land
G D
Babe, if you're born with nothin' in your hands
C D
Hey It's your only chance
G C/G D
Well It's lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
G C
Yeah I know it's late, but we can make it if we run
G D C
Oh I wish you could come, so leave what you've lost
D G
Leave what's grown old, on thunder road
Em C
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
G D
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
C D
From your front porch to my front seat
G C D
Hey door's open but the ride ain't free
GCG
Well there were ghosts in the eyes of the boys you sent away
D
They haunt this dirty beach road in the skeleton remains of
C
burned-out Chevrolets
G
They scream to you at night from the street
F C
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
G G/C D
And in the lonely cool before dawn
GG/C D
From your room you hear their engines roar on
GC D
But when you get to the porch, they're gone lost in the wind
A/E
so Christie climb in
C D G
It's a town full of losers I'm pulling out of here to win
[Outro]
It definitely has errors, but it isn't terrible.
