[Intro/Theme]E E A B7sus4 – B E E A B7sus4 - B

[Verse 1]

E A B

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

E A B

At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines

A E/G# F#m

Sprung from cages on highway 9, chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected

E/G# E D/E

and steppin' out over the line, whoah!

A E/G#

Baby this town rips the bones from your back

F#m E/G# E C#m

It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young

A B E

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

[Verse 2]

E A B

Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams and visions

E A B

Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands across my engines

A E/G# F#m E/G# E D/E

Together we could break this trap, we'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back, whoah!

A E/G# F#m E/G#

Will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

E C#m

But I gotta find out how it feels

A B E

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

Asus4 A Asus4 A Csus4 C Csus4 C

Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard

Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gsus4 G Gsus4 G

The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

Asus4 A Asus4 A Csus4 C Csus4 C

I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an ever - lasting kiss

[Verse 3]

E A B7sus4 B

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

E A B7sus4 B

Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide

A E/G#

Together Wendy we can live with the sadness

F#m E/G# E D/E

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

A E/G# F#m

Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place

E/G# E C#m

Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun

A B E C#m

But till then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run

A B E C#m

Ah honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run

A B E

Come on Wendy, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
