Intro: E Asus2 Bsus4
E Asus2 Bsus4
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
E Asus2 Bsus4
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
A C#m/G#
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
F#m C#m/G# E
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
D/E A C#m/G#
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#m C#m/G#
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
E C#m7
We gotta get out while we're young
Asus2 Bsus4 E
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Asus2 Bsus4 E Asus2 Bsus4
Yes, girl, we were
Bsus4 E
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
Asus2 Bsus4
I want to guard your dreams and visions
E Asus2 Bsus4
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines
A C#m/G#
Together we could break this trap
F#m C#m/G# E
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
D/E A C#m/G#
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire
F#m C#m/G#
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
E C#m7
But I gotta find out how it feels
Asus2 Bsus4 E
I wanna know if love is wild, girl I wanna know if love is real
Asus2 Bsus4 E Asus2 Bsus4
Oh, can you show me?
Sax Solo: Bsus4 E Asus2 Bsus4 E Asus2 Bsus4 C#m7 Bsus4 E Bm7
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Asus4 A Asus4 A
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
Csus4 C Csus4 C
And the boys try to look so hard
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
Asus4 A Asus4 A
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
Csus4 C Csus4 C
In an ever- lasting kiss Huh!

B5 E Asus2
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
E Asus2 Bsus4
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
A C#m/G#
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
F#m C#m/G# E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
D/E A C#m/G# F#m
Oh, someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
C#m/G# E C#m7
Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun
Asus2 Bsus4 E C#m7
But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Asus2 Bsus4 E C#m7
Oh, honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Whoa, hmm
Asus2 Bsus4 E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Aus2 Bsus4
Hmm
E Asus2
Whoa, whoa
Bsus4 E
Oh oh oh oh oh
