[Verse 1]
        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#              F#m
Sprung from cages on highway 9, chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
    E/G#                  E     D/E
and steppin' out over the line, whoah!
A                       E/G#
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
       F#m                E/G#                  E                   C#m
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young
       A               B                    E  
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

[Verse 2]
      E                                            A                     B
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams and visions
     E                                            A                          B             
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands across my engines

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

  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
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, 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 ever - lasting kiss

[Verse 3]
    E                                        A                 B7sus4  B
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
     E                                         A                B7sus4  B
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide

  A                   E/G#
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
     F#m                   E/G#          E     D/E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul, whoah!
A               E/G#                         F#m
Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
          E/G#           E                       C#m
Where we really want to 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

[Outro/Theme]
