[Verse 1]
        E                        
In the day we sweat it out on the 
              A                B
streets of a runaway American dream
   E                               
At night we ride through mansions 
           A         B
of glory in suicide machines

A                    E/G#    
Sprung from cages on highway 9, 
          F#m
chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
    E/G#                  E     
and steppin' out over the line, 
D/E
whoah!
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 
              E                   
rap, we gotta get out while we're 
C#m
young
       A               B          
'Cause tramps like us, baby we 
          E
were born to run

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

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

    E                           
The highway's jammed with broken

heroes on a last chance power

drive
     E                             
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#   
I'll love you with all the madness
       E     D/E
 in my soul, whoah!
A               E/G#             
Someday girl, I don't know when, 
            F#m
we're gonna get to that place
          E/G#           E        
Where we really want to go and 
               C#m
we'll walk in the sun
               A               B  
But till then, tramps like us, 
                  E    C#m
baby we were born to run

          A               B       
Ah honey, tramps like us, baby we 
             E    C#m
were born to run
               A               B  
Come on Wendy, tramps like us,
