  • [Intro: E E A B pattern twice]
     
    E A B
  • In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
    E A B
    At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
  • A E/G#
    Sprung from cages on Highway 9
    F#m E/G# E E9
  • Chrome wheels, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line Oh
    A E/G#
    Baby, this town rips the bones from your back
  • F#m E/G#
    It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
    E C#m
  • We gotta get out while we're young
    A B E
    'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
  •  
     
    Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
  • I wanna 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 til we drop, and baby we'll never go back
    Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
  • 'Cause baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
    But I gotta know how it feels
    I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real.

  • Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
    Asus4 A Asus4 A Csus4 C Csus4 C
    Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard
  • Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Gsus4 G
    The amusement park rises bold and stark as kids are huddled on the beach
    Gsus4 G
  • 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

    [The guitar run can be played by holding the B notes at fret 12 on the B
    string and fret 14 on the A string and just sliding them down the strings.
  • Beware: the run ends C C C C B, not C# C B.]
     
    Well, 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 could live with the sadness
    I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
  • Oh, some day, girl, I don't know when
    We're gonna get to that place that we really wanna go
    And we'll walk in the sun
  • A B E C#m
    But 'till then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
    A B E C#m
  • Ah, honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
    A B E
    Come on, Wendy, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
