Intro: E A B7 (2x)
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 Abm
Sprung from cages out on highway 9
F#m Abm E
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
A Abm
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#m Abm
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 Abm
Together Wendy we could break this trap
F#m Abm E
We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back
A Abm
Will you walk with me out on the wire
F#m Abm
'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 Abm
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
F#m Abm E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
A Abm
Someday girl I don't know when
F#m
we're gonna get to that place
Abm 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
