[INTRO:] C    F  G  C    F  G

[VERSE 1:]
       C                                
In the day we sweat it out on the streets
     F                G
Of a runaway American dream
   C
At night we ride through mansions of glory
  F          G
In suicide machines


[VERSE 2:]
F                    Am        
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
       Dm7                        Am                    C    
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and stepping out over the line 
Bb   F                       Am                   
Ohh, baby this town rips the bones from your back 
       Dm7                Am
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap 
         C                   Am
We gotta get out while we're young    
       F               G                 C         F  G
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run,    oh


[VERSE 3:]
      C
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend 
        F                     G
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
     C
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims 
    F                          G
And strap your hands 'cross my engines 


[VERSE 4:]
  F               Am        
Together we could break this trap
      Dm7               Am                   C    
We'll run till we drop, baby, we'll never go back
Bb            F                       Am                   
Ohh, will you walk with me out on the wild
       Dm7                           Am
'Cause baby, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider 
      C                    Am
But I gotta know how it feels
        F                             G                     C
I wanna know if love is wild, babe, I wanna know if love is real
   F                  G
Oh oh, can you show me


[INTERLUDE:] C     F  G  Am   G C   Gm


[BRIDGE:]
  Bb                                  
Beyond the Palace, hemi powered drones
Eb
Scream down the boulevard
      F
Girls comb there hair in rear view mirrors 
        Ab
And the boys try to look so hard
     Bb                                  
The amusement park rises bold and stark
         Eb
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist 
        F                                           Ab
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight
                        Bb
In an everlasting kiss


[VERSE 5:]
    C
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
     F                      G
On a last chance power drive
         C
And everybody's out on the run tonight
               F                G
'Cause there's no place left to hide


[VERSE 6:]
  F                     Am        
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
  Dm7                   Am            C    
I love you with all the madness in my soul
Bb   F               Am                   
Ohh, someday girl, I don't know when
            Dm7                        Am           C
We're gonna get to that place where we really wanna go
                     Am
And we'll walk in the sun
           F               G                 C      Am7
'Til then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
          F               G                 C          Am7
Ah honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run, ah come on now, Wendy
F               G                 C
Tramps like us, baby we were born to run
