               Dm                          Bb 
verse 1        Three-thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight 
               A                                                         Dm 
               The city's lookin' like a ghost town on a moonless summer night 
               Dm                                      Bb 
               Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm moving in 
               A                                                          Dm 
               He's headin' back from somewhere that he never should have been 
                                C    C/B  A   A7                       Dm 
               And the thunder rolls,               and the thunder rolls 
  
verse 2        Every light is burnin', in a house across town 
               She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown 
               Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right 
               Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night 
                                 C   C/B  A A7                  Dm  C  Dm 
               And the thunder rolls,         and the thunder rolls 
  
                               Bb    C                      Dm  C  Dm 
chorus         And the thunder rolls    and the lightnin' strikes 
                                  Bb     C                  A  G  A 
               Another love grows cold     on a sleepless night 
                                  Bb  C                 Dm  C  Dm 
               As the storm blows on      out of control 
                            Bb   C                Dm 
               Deep in her heart     the thunder rolls 
  
  
verse 3        She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive 
               She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive 
               But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows 
            And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows 
                                 C   C/B  A A7                  Dm C Dm  Dm Dm Dm 
               And the thunder rolls,          and the thunder rolls 
  
chorus
