F7C#D#
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
F7C#D#
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
C#F7
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
C#D#C#
chrome wheeled, fuel injected and, steppinʼ out over the line
G#
Baby this town rips the bones from your back,
A#mD#
itʼs a death trap, itʼs a suicide rap.
C#A#m
We gotta get out while Iʼm still young
C#D#F7
ʼCause tramps like us baby we were born to run.
F7
Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
C#D#
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
F7
Just wrap your legs ʼround these velvet rims,
C#D#
Strap your hands across my engines.
C#G#
And Together we could break this trap,
C#D#C#
Weʼll run till we drop and, baby weʼll never go back.
G#
Walk with me out on the wire?
A#mD#
Girl, Iʼm just a scared and a lonely rider,
C#A#m
But I gotta know how it feels,
C#
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
D#F7
I want to know if love is real.
D#mF#
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
C#
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
A#mD#
and the boys try to look so hard
D#m
The amusement park rises bold and stark
F#
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
C#
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
A#mD#
In a everlasting kiss
G#
Well, The highways jammed with broken heroes
C#D#
On a last chance power drive
F7
Everybodyʼs out on the run tonight
C#D#
But thereʼs no place left to hide
C#F7
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
C#D#C#
Iʼll love you with all the madness in my soul
F7A#m
Someday girl, I donʼt know when, weʼre gonna get to that place
D#
Where we really wanna go
C#A#m
And weʼll walk in the sun
C#
Till then tramps like us
D#F7
Baby we were Born To Run.
