[Intro]
Dm
[1st verse]
Dm                           Bb
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 
                                     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     G/B  A    Asus
    And the thunder rolls                    
A                         Dm
    And the thunder rolls 
[2nd verse]
Dm                          Bb
Every light is burnin' in a house across town 
A                                                   Dm
She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown 
                   Bb
Askin' for miracle hopin' she's not right 
A                                                 Dm
Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night 
D                   C      G/B  A
    And the thunder rolls 
A                          D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
    And the thunder rolls 
[Chorus]
            Bb    C                           D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
The thunder rolls   and the lightnin' strikes 
                   Bb    C               A    D  A
Another love grows cold,  on a sleepless night 
                   Bb    C                  D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
As the storm blows on,    out of control 
                  Bb   C                 Dm
Deep in her heart,           the thunder rolls 
[3rd verse]
Dm                                  Bb
She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive 
A                                          Dm
She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive 
                           Bb
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows 
A                                                              Dm
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows 
                    C      G/B  A
    And the thunder rolls 
A                          D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm D5 D5 D5 Dm Dm Dm
    And the thunder rolls 
[Chorus]
            Bb    C                           D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
The thunder rolls   and the lightnin' strikes 
                   Bb    C               A    D  A
Another love grows cold,  on a sleepless night 
                   Bb    C                  D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
As the storm blows on,    out of control 
                  Bb   C                 Dm
Deep in her heart,           the thunder rolls
[4th verse] (Live Version only)
Dm                                Bb
She runs back down the hallway to the bedroom door 
A
She reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer 
Dm                              Bb
Tells the lady in the mirror he won't do this again 
       A
Cause tonight will be the last time she'll wonder where he's been
D
(let this chord ring for a full measure)
[Chorus]
            Bb    C                           D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
The thunder rolls   and the lightnin' strikes 
                   Bb    C               A    D  A
Another love grows cold,  on a sleepless night 
                   Bb    C                  D5 C5 D5 Dm C Dm
As the storm blows on,    out of control
                  Bb   C D C                   Dm
Deep in her heart,           the thunder rolls
