Add cells with text to your table body. Stuck on the coding

Im stuck on HTML tables quiz Question 7 "Add cells with text to your table body.". Am I missing something? Did i miss a bracket or something?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
            <table>
        <tr>
          <thead>
            <tr>
              <th>table data 1</th>
              <th>table data 2</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
        </tr>  
            <tbody>
               <tr>
                <td>text 1 </td>
                         <td>text 2</td>
                   </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>

  </body>

Maybe this is messing you up (on your code): - Try to take out the opening TR on your code under table and it should work. (The full code at the bottom is mine and working)

      </thead>
    </tr>  
        <tbody>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>text</th>
          <th>text</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>text</td>
          <td>text</td>
        </tr>      
      </tbody>
    </table>

Allan Alivio - As Andrew Gale alluded table rows (<tr>) when using <thead> any <tr>s must be inside of it.
