In the day we sweat it out on the streets
A B
Of a runaway American dream

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

Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back

Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
A B
I wanna guard your dreams and visions

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
