Chords v2

E  E  A  B7sus4 - B x2

        E                                       A                 B

In the day we sweat it out in 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                                  E/G#                              E

Sprung from cages out on highway 9,  Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the | line

E9   A                                     E/G#                                          F#m                     E/G#

Oh Baby this town rips the bones from your back   It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap  

                 E                              C#m                  A                      B                                   E

We gotta get out while we're young `Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

E  E  A  B7sus4 - B x2

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 across my engines  

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

Oh walk with me out on the wire  `Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

But I gotta find out how it feels I want to know if love is wild. I want to know if love is real

E  E  A  B7sus4 - B x2,     (sax:  E  E  A  B,      E  E  A  B,    C#m B E  Bm7 )

   Dsus4        D                   Dsus4      D         Gsus4                   G                               Gsus4 G

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard

               Asus4          A          Asus4  A                        Csus4           C          Csus4 C

The 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 as 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 everlasting kiss

B A# A G# G F# F E D# D C# C C C C B

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'll live with the sadness, I'll love you with all the madness in my | soul  

*Oh 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

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

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

E   E   A  B7sus4 - B whoa oh oh's  until slow down end
