Intro: EAB7 x2
 
EAB7 In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
EAB7 At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
AG#m Sprung from cages out on highway 9
F#mG#mE Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
AG#m Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#mG#m It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
EC#m We gotta get out while we're young
AB7EAB7EAB7 'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
 
E Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
AB7 I want to guard your dreams and visions
E Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
AB7 and strap your hands 'cross my engines
AG#m Together Wendy we could break this trap
F#mG#mE We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back
AG#m Will you walk with me out on the wire
F#mG#m 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
EC#m But I gotta know how it feels
A I want to know if love is wild
B7EAB7EAB7 Babe I want to know if love is real
DG Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
A Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
C And the boys try to look so hard
D The amusement park rises bold and stark
G Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
A I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
C In an everlasting kiss
 
EAB7 The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
E Everybody's out on the run tonight
AB7 but there's no place left to hide
AG#m Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
F#mG#mE I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
AG#m Someday girl I don't know when
F#m we're gonna get to that place
G#mE Where we really want to go
C#m and we'll walk in the sun
A But till then tramps like us
B7EA baby we were born to run
B7EA baby we were born to run
