Capo 2
[Intro]
D G A D G A
[Verse]
D G A
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
D G A
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
G F#m
Sprung from cages on highway 9
Em F#m D D7
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line... OOOH!
G F#m
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Em F#m
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
D Bm
We gotta get out while we're young
G A D G A D G A
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
D
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
G A
I want to guard your dreams and visions
D
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
G A
and strap your hands 'cross my engines
G F#m
Together we could break this trap
Em F#m D D7
We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back... OOOH!
G F#m
Will you walk with me out on the wire
Em F#m
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
D Bm
But I gotta know how it feels
G
I want to know if love is wild
A D G A D G A
Babe I want to know if love is real
C F
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
G
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
A#
And the boys try to look so hard
C
The amusement park rises bold and stark
F
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
G
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
A#
In an everlasting kiss
D G A
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
D
Everybody's out on the run tonight
G A
but there's no place left to hide
G F#m
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
Em F#m D D7
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul... OOOH!
G F#m
Someday girl I don't know when
Em
we're gonna get to that place
F#m D
Where we really want to go
Bm
and we'll walk in the sun
G
But till then tramps like us
A D G
baby we were born to run
A D G
baby we were born to run
A D
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
