EEAB7sus4 - BEEAB7sus4 - B
[Verse 1]
EAB
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
EAB
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
AE/G#F#m
Sprung from cages on highway 9, chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
E/G#ED/E
and steppin' out over the line, whoah!
AE/G#
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#mE/G#EC#m
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young
ABE
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
[Theme]

[Verse 2]
EAB
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams and visions
EAB
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands across my engines
AE/G#F#mE/G#ED/E
Together we could break this trap, we'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back, whoah!
AE/G#F#mE/G#
Will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
EC#m
But I gotta find out how it feels
ABE
I want to know if love is wild, babe, I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Asus4AAsus4ACsus4CCsus4C
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard
Dsus4DDsus4DGsus4GGsus4G
The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
Asus4AAsus4ACsus4CCsus4C
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an ever - lasting kiss

EAB7sus4B
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
EAB7sus4B
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
AE/G#
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
F#mE/G#ED/E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul, whoah!
AE/G#F#m
Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
E/G#EC#m
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
ABEC#m
But till then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
ABEC#m
Ah honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
ABE
Come on Wendy, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
