Born To Run

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

   A                  E/G#
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
         F#m                         E/G#       E         D/E
Chrome-wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
     A                                        E/G#
Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back
        F#m                E/G#
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
          E                  C#m
We gotta get out while we're young
         A              B                     E
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

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

   A                E/G#
Together we could break this trap
       F#m               E/G#        E        D/E
We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back
              A                       E/G#
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
         F#m                         E/G#
'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
    E                    C#m
But I gotta know how it feels
            A
I want to know if love is wild
         B                       E
Babe, I want to know if love is real

  Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones
     Gsus4         G    Gsus4  G
  Scream down the boulevard
         Asus4      A       Asus4    A
  Girls comb their hair in realview mirrors
           Csus4 C     Csus4   C
  And the boys try to look so hard
        Dsus4         D     Dsus4     D
  The amusement park rises bold and stark
            Gsus4          G            Gsus4  G
  Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
           Asus4   A                     Asus4  A
  I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight
        Csus4 C       Csus4  C
  In an ever lasting kiss

     E
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
      A     B7sus4       B
On a last chance power drive
      E
Everybody's out on the run tonight
                 A    B7sus4  B
But there's no place left to hide

   A                                   E/G#
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
      F#m          E/G#     E             D/E
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
     A                E/G#
Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when
             F#m
We're gonna get to that place
          E/G#                      E           C#m
Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun
                 A
But 'til then, tramps like us
 B             E       C#m
Baby, we were born to run
            A
Oh honey, tramps like us
 B             E       C#m
Baby, we were born to run
                   A
Come on with me, tramps like us
 B                     E
Baby, we were born to run
