Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

  In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream

  At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines

  Sprung from cages out on highway 9

  Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line

  Baby this town rips the bones from your back

  It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap

  We gotta get out while we're young

  'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

  Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend

  I want to guard your dreams and visions

  Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims

  and strap your hands 'cross my engines

  Together Wendy we could break this trap

  We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back

  Will you walk with me out on the wire

  'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

  But I gotta know how it feels

  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

  Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors

  And the boys try to look so hard

  The amusement park rises bold and stark

  Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

  I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight

  In an everlasting kiss

  The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive

  Everybody's out on the run tonight

  but there's no place left to hide

  Together Wendy we can live with the sadness

  I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

  Someday girl I don't know when

  we're gonna get to that place

  Where we really want to go

  and we'll walk in the sun

  But till then tramps like us

  baby we were born to run

  baby we were born to run

  Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
