        G                        
In the day we sweat it out on the 
                 C             D
streets of a runaway American dream
     G                             
At night we ride through mansions 
            C          D
of glory in suicide machines
  C                   G
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
          C                        
chrome wheeled, fuel injected and, 
 D                    C
steppin' out over the line
                           G
Baby this town rips the bones from 
your back,
         Am                D
it's a death trap, it's a suicide 
rap.
            C                 
We gotta get out while I'm still 
Am       (A2 Am A2)
young
         C             D          
'Cause tramps like us baby we were
         G
 born to run.
G    C    D
               (G->C harmonica)
    G
Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be 
your friend,
        C                    
I wanna guard your dreams and 
 D
visions.
     G
Just wrap your legs 'round these 
velvet rims,
      C                      D
Strap your hands across my engines.

And Together we could break this 
trap,
       C                    D  
We'll run till we drop and, baby 
                 C
we'll never go back.
             G
Walk with me out on the wire?
         Am                   D
Girl, I'm just a scared and a lonely
 rider,
      C                 Am         
But I gotta know how it feels,
(A2 Am A2)

  C
I want to know if love is wild, 
baby,
    D                     G
I want to know if love is real.

               (G->C harmonica)   Dm
                                    
F
Beyond the palace hemi-powered 
drones scream down the boulevard
      C
The girls comb their hair in 
rear-view mirrors
         Am                D
and the boys try to look so hard
  Dm
The amusement park rises bold and 
stark
          F
Kids are huddled on the beach in a 
mist
         C
I wanna die with you Wendy on the 
streets tonight
     Am           D
In a everlasting kiss
             G
Well, The highways jammed with 
broken heroes
      C                    D
On a last chance power drive
     G
Everybody's out on the run tonight
            C                D
But there's no place left to hide
   C                     G
Together, Wendy, we can live with 
the sadness
C                          D     
I'll love you with all the 
         C
madness in my soul
         G                      
Someday girl, I don't know when, 
             Am
we're gonna get to that place
          D
Where we really wanna go
 C                    Am   (A2 Am
And we'll walk in the sun
 A2)

               C
Till then tramps like us
D                   G
Baby we were Born To Run.
