Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][E][A][B]
[E][E][A][B]

[Verse 1]
In the [E]day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a [A]runaway American [B]dream
At [E]night we ride
through the mansions of glory
In [A]suicide ma[B]chines
[A]Sprung from cages on [C#m]Highway 9
Chrome [F#m]wheeled, fuel injected,
and [C#m]steppin' out over the [E]line
[D]Oh, ba[A]by this town rips
the [C#m]bones from your back
It's a [F#m]death trap, it's a [C#m]suicide rap
We gotta [E]get out while we're [C#m]young
'Cause [A]tramps like us, [B]baby, we were born to

[Interlude 1]
[E](run)[E][A][B]
Yes, girl, we [E]were[E]
[A][B]

[Verse 2]
Wendy, [E]let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna [A]guard your dreams and [B]visions
Just [E]wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And [A]strap your hands 'cross my [B]engines
To[A]gether we could [C#m]break this trap
We'll [F#m]run 'til we drop,
[C#m]baby, we'll never [E]go back
[D]Oh, will you [A]walk with me out on the [C#m]wire?
'Cause, ba[F#m]by, I'm just a scared and lo[C#m]nely rider
But I [E]gotta know how it [C#m]feels
I want to [A]know if love is wild
Babe, I [B]want to know if love is

[Interlude 2]
[E](real)[E][A][B]
Oh, can you [E]show [E]me
[A][B]

[Solo 1]
[E][E][A][B]
[E][E][A][B]
[C#m][C#m][B][E][Bm]

[Bridge 1]
Be[D]yound the Palace, he[D]mi- power drones
[G]Scream down the boule[G]vard
Girls [A]comb their hair in [A]rearview mirrors
And the [C]boys try to look so [C]hard
The a[D]musement park rises [D]bold and stark
Kids are [G]huddled on the beach
in the [G]mist
I wanna [A]die with you, Wendy,
on the [A]street tonight
In an [C]everlasting [C]kiss

[Interlude 3]

[B][A#][A][G#][G][F#]
[E#][E][D#][D][C#][C]
[B]
(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 3]
The [E]highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a [A]last chance power [B]drive
Every[E]body's out on the run tonight
But there's [A]no place left to [B]hide
To[A]gether, Wendy,
we can [C#m]live with the sadness
I'll [F#m]love you with all the m[C#m]adness in my s[E]oul
[D]Oh, [A]someday, girl, I don't [C#m]know when
We're gonna [F#m]get to that place
Where we [C#m]really wanna [E]go
and we'll walk in the [C#m]sun
But 'til then, [A]tramps like us
[B]Baby, we were born to [E]run
[C#m]Oh honey, tramps[A] like us
[B]Baby, we were born to [E]run
[C#m]Come on with me, tramps[A] like us
[B]Baby, we were born to

[Outro 1]
