         E5                                       A5                 B5
 In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
     E5                                            A5            B5
 At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
    A5                     Ab5
 Sprung from cages out on highway 9
         F#5                        Ab5                   E5
 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
 A5                        Ab5
 Baby this town rips the bones from your back
         F#5               Ab5
 It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
               E5               C#5
 We gotta get out while we're young
          A5             B5                    E5    A5   B5   E5    A5   B5
 'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

        E5
 Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
             A5                   B5
 I want to guard your dreams and visions
        E5
 Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
    A5                        B5
 and strap your hands 'cross my engines
    A5                     Ab5
 Together Wendy we could break this trap
       F#5                  Ab5                  E5
 We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back
           A5                       Ab5
 Will you walk with me out on the wire
        F#5                        Ab5
 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
        E5                 C#5
 But I gotta know how it feels
            A5
 I want to know if love is wild
         B5                      E5    A5   B5   E5    A5   B5
 Babe I want to know if love is real
 
    D5                                     G5
 Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
        A5
 Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
          C5
 And the boys try to look so hard
       D5
 The amusement park rises bold and stark
           G5
 Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
          A5
 I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
       C5
 In an everlasting kiss

      E5                                        A5                 B5
 The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
 E5
 Everybody's out on the run tonight
             A5                 B5
 but there's no place left to hide
    A5                   Ab5
 Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
      F#5                   Ab5            E5
 I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
  A5             Ab5
 Someday girl I don't know when
             F#5
 we're gonna get to that place
          Ab5            E5
 Where we really want to go
                       C#5
 and we'll walk in the sun
                 A5
 But till then tramps like us
 B5                    E5     A5   
 baby we were born to run
 B5                    E5     A5   
 baby we were born to run
 B5       E5
 Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
