Introduction: G C9 D
G C9 D
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
G C9 D
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
C9 G C9
Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
D C9 G
and steppin' out over the line. Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Am D C Am
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young
C D G C9 D(2x)
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
G C9 D
Hey Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions
G
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
C9 D C9 G
and strap your hands across my engines, and together we could break this trap
C9 D C9
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
G Am D
Walk with me out on the wire? Girl, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
C Am
But I gotta know how it feels
C D G C9 D(2x)
I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real
Dm F
Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
C Am D
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard
Dm F
The amusement park rises bold and stark as Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
C Am D
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss
G C9 D
Well, the highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
G C9 D
Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide
C9 G
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
C9 D C9
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
G Am
Someday girl I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
D C Am
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
C D G C9 D(2x)
But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run
