[verse 1]
Am
Don't tell mama,
F
Don't tell your daddy,
C
Baby, let's just go.
AmF
The only escaping, the only salvation
C
Is a long dark road
Am
You're bitin' your lip girl,
F
You're tight as a fist girl,
C
We'll be all right
Am
Once we're over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
AmFC
[Verse 2]
Am
Don't trust the teachers,
F
Don't trust the preachers
C
That the world is round
Am
We'll find out for ourselves,
FC
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town
Am
I got some twenties and tens
FC
In a Maxwell House can with the lid on tight,
Am
To get us over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Chorus]
G
Oh,
FC
There's a billion little stars,
G
Oh,
FC
Let's pick out which one is ours
G
Oh,
FC
Girl, I need you by my side,
Am
To get over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Verse 3]
Am
Baby you'd better
F
Get jeans and a sweater
C
If the air gets cold
Am
'Cause we been dreaming bout breaking out,
FC
Running away, since seven years old
F
And it won't be as hard
Am
Once the fence in our yard
C
Disappears out of sight
Am
When we're over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[chorus]
G
Oh,
FC
There's a billion little stars,
G
Oh,
FC
Let's pick out which one is ours
G
Oh,
FC
Girl, I need you by my side,
Am
To get over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
Am
To get over the hot sand,
FC
Out of the badlands, into the night.
