[Verse]

Bsus   E                                       Asus2             Bsus
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
    E                                         Asus2      Bsus
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines


[Pre-Chorus]

   A                      C#m/G#
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
       F#m                         C#m/G#                 E
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
D/E    A                     C#m/G#
Oh- Baby this town rips the bones from your back
        F#m                C#m/G#
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
         E                    C#m/G#
We gotta get out while we're young
        E/A            Bsus                 E
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Riff 1 +  E,  E,  Asus2,  Bsus            Riff &  E,  E,  Asus2,  Bsus
                       Yes girl we were                        (Wendy)

[Verse]

Bsus  E
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
          Asus2                   Bsus
I want to guard your dreams and visions
      E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
     Asus2                       Bsus
and strap your hands ‘cross my engines


[Pre-Chorus]

  A                           C#m/G#
Together we could break this trap
      F#m               C#m/G#                E     D/E
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back    Oh
          A                      C#m/G#
Will you walk with me out on the wire
       F#m                        C#m/G#
Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
       E                C#m/G#
But I gotta know how it feels
          E/A                          Bsus                     E
I want to know if love is wild, babe I want to know if love is real
Riff 1 +  E,  E,  Asus2,  Bsus
                         Oh can you show me

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard

Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors

The amusement park rises bold and stark

as kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
        Asus     A                Asus     A
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
      Csus C        Csus  C
in an ever lasting kiss     Huh!

Highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
     E                                          Asus2             Bsus
Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide


[Pre-Chorus]

   A                 C#m/G#
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
      F#m                  C#m/G#         E     D/E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul   Oh
 A                   C#m/G#                 F#m
Someday girl I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
         C#m/G#         E                        C#m/G#
Where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
                A               Bsus                 E
But till then tramps like us   baby we were born to run
C#m7      E/A            Bsus                  E
Ah honey tramps like us, baby we were born to run
C#m7              E/ A            Bsus                 E Riff 1
