 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
