intro : E A B7 x2

E A B7
in the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway american dream
E A B7
at night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
A G#m
sprung from cages out on highway 9
F#m G#m E
chrome wheeled , fuel injected , and steppin’ out over the line
A G#m
baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#m G#m
it’s a death trap , it’s a suicide rap
E C#m
we gotta get out while we’re young
A B7 E A B7 E A B7
’cause tramps like us , baby we were born to run

E
wendy let me in i wanna be your friend
A B7
i want to guard your dreams and visions
E
just wrap your legs ’round these velvet rims
A B7
and strap your hands ’cross my engines
A G#m
together wendy we could break this trap
F#m G#m E
we’ll run till we drop and baby we’ll never go back
A G#m
will you walk with me out on the wire
F#m G#m
’cause baby i’m just a scared and lonely rider
E C#m
but i gotta know how it feels
A
i want to know if love is wild
B7 E A B7 E A B7
babe i want to know if love is real

D G
beyond the palace hemi – powered drones scream down the boulevard
A
girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
C
and the boys try to look so hard
D
the amusement park rises bold and stark
G
kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
A
i wanna die with you wendy on the street tonight
C
in an everlasting kiss

E A B7
the highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
E
everybody’s out on the run tonight
A B7
but there’s no place left to hide
A G#m
together wendy we can live with the sadness
F#m G#m E
i’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
A G#m
someday girl i don’t know when
F#m
we’re gonna get to that place
G#m E
where we really want to go
C#m
and we’ll walk in the sun
A
but till then tramps like us
B7 E A
baby we were born to run
B7 E A
baby we were born to run
B7 E
oh – oh – oh – oh
