INTRO: D G A D G A
In the d[D]ay we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway Am[G]erican dream[A]
At n[D]ight we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines[G] [A]
Spr[G]ung from cages on [F#m]highway 9
Chrome w[Em]heeled, fuel injected, and steppi[F#m]n' out over the line...[D] OOOH![D7]
[G]Baby this town rips the b[F#m]ones from your back
It's a d[Em]eath trap, it's a [F#m]suicide rap
We gotta [D]get out while we're [Bm]young
'Cause tram[G]ps like us, b[A]aby we were born to ru[D]n[G] [A] [D] [G] [A]
Wendy let me [D]in I wanna be your friend
I want to guar[G]d your dreams and visions[A]
Just wr[D]ap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and st[G]rap your hands 'cross my engi[A]nes
Tog[G]ether we could [F#m]break this trap
We'll [Em]run till we drop and [F#m]baby we'll never go [D]back... OOOH![D7]
Will you w[G]alk with me out on the wire[F#m]
'Cause [Em]baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider[F#m]
But I g[D]otta know how it feels[Bm]
I want to [G]know if love is wild
Babe I want t[A]o know if love is real[D] [G] [A] [D] [G] [A]
Bey[C]ond the Palace hemi-powered drones [F]scream down the boulevard
Girls co[G]mb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys tr[A#]y to look so hard
The am[C]usement park rises bold and stark
Kids are hud[F]dled on the beach in a mist
I wanna [G]die with you Wendy on the street tonight
In an ever[A#]lasting kiss
The hig[D]hway's jammed with broken heroes on a la[G]st chance power d[A]rive
Everybody[D]'s out on the run tonight
but there's [G]no place left to hide[A]
Tog[G]ether Wendy we can live with[F#m] the sadness
I'll [Em]love you with all the [F#m]madness in my s[D]oul... [D7]OOOH!
S[G]omeday girl I [F#m]don't know when
we're gonna [Em]get to that place
Where we [F#m]really want to[D] go
and we'll walk in the [Bm]sun
But till then tr[G]amps like us
[A]baby we were born to r[D]un[G]
[A]baby we were born to r[D]un[G]
[A]Oh-Oh-Oh-[D]Oh
