E C D
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
E C D
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
C E
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
C D C
chrome wheeled fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
G
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Am D
it's a death trap it's a suicide rap
C Am
We gotta get out while I'm still young
C D E
Cause tramps like us baby we were born to run
E
Hey Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
C D
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
C D
Strap your hands across my engines
C G
And Together we could break this trap
C D C
We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back
G
Walk with me out on the wire
Am D
Girl I'm just a scared and a lonely rider
C Am
But I gotta know how it feels
C
I want to know if love is wild baby
D E
I want to know if love is real
Dm F
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
C
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
Am D
and the boys try to look so hard
Dm
The amusement park rises bold and stark
F
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
C
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
Am D
In a everlasting kiss
G
Well The highways jammed with broken heroes
C D
On a last chance power drive
E
Everybody's out on the run tonight
C D
But there's no place left to hide
C E
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
C D C
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
E Am
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
D
Where we really wanna go
C Am
And we'll walk in the sun
C
Till then tramps like us
D E
Baby we were Born To Run
