Selection chords: Henry Walker

        D#7                                        B             C#
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
   D#7                                       B          C#
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
  B                   D#7
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
          B                         C#                    B
chrome wheeled, fuel injected and, steppinʼ out over the line
                           F#
Baby this town rips the bones from your back,
         G#m                C#
itʼs a death trap, itʼs a suicide rap.
            B                 G#m
We gotta get out while Iʼm still young
         B             C#                   D#7
ʼCause tramps like us baby we were born to run.

   D#7
Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
        B                     C#
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
     D#7
Just wrap your legs ʼround these velvet rims,
      B                      C#
Strap your hands across my engines.
      B               F#
And Together we could break this trap,
       B                    C#                   B
Weʼll run till we drop and, baby weʼll never go back.
             F#
Walk with me out on the wire?
         G#m                   C#
Girl, Iʼm just a scared and a lonely rider,
      B                 G#m
But I gotta know how it feels,
  B
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
    C#                     D#7
I want to know if love is real.

  C#m                                    E
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
      B
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
         G#m                C#
and the boys try to look so hard
  C#m
The amusement park rises bold and stark
          E
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
         B
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
     G#m           C#
In a everlasting kiss

             F#
Well, The highways jammed with broken heroes
      B                    C#
On a last chance power drive
     D#7
Everybodyʼs out on the run tonight
            B                C#
But thereʼs no place left to hide
   B                    D#7
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
B                          C#              B
Iʼll love you with all the madness in my soul
         D#7                                   G#m
Someday girl, I donʼt know when, weʼre gonna get to that place
          C#
Where we really wanna go
 B                    G#m
And weʼll walk in the sun
               B
Till then tramps like us
C#                  D#7
Baby we were Born To Run.
