1. In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American Dream,
D G A
at
night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
G Bm G
Sprung from cages on Highway
9, chrome wheeled,
Bm D
fuel
injected and steppin‘ out over the line.
C G Bm
Oh, baby, this town rips the
bones from your back,
Em Bm D Bm
it’s
a death trap, it’s a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we’re young,
G A
D
cause
tramps like us, baby, we were born to run. + D - G -

2. Hey, Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your
friend,
G A
I wanna guard your dreams and
visions,
D
just
wrap your legs round these velvet rims.
G A
and strap
your hands across my engines.
G D
And together we could break
this trap,
G Bm D
we’ll
run till we drop and, baby, we’ll never go back.
C G Bm
Oh, will you walk with me out
on the wire,
Em Bm
‘cause,
baby, I’m just a scared and lonely rider.
D Bm G
But I gotta know how it feels,
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
A D
I wanna know if love is real. + D - G - A (4x) - Bm - D
C F
+ Beyond the palace
hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard,
G
the
girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
Bb
and
the boys try to look so hard.
C
The amusement park rises bold
and stark,
F
kids
are huddled on the beach in the mist,
G
I wanna die with you, Wendy,
on the streets tonight
Bb
in an everlasting kiss.

3. The highways jammed with broken heroes
G A
on a
last chance power drive,
D G
A
everybody’s
out on the run tonight, but there’s no place left to hide.
G
D
Together, Wendy, we can live
with the sadness,
G Bm D
I’ll love you with all the
madness in my soul.
C G Bm Em
Oh, someday, girl, I don’t
know when, we’re gonna get to that place
Bm D
where
we really wanna go, and we’ll walk in the sun.
G A D - Bm
But till then tramps like us,
baby, we were born to run,
G A D - Bm
tramps
like us, baby, we were born to run,
G A D
tramps
like us, baby, we were born to run. + D - G - A (4x) - D
