IntroEEAB7sus4 - BEEAB7sus4 - BVerse 1EAB
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
EAB
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
AE/G#F#m
Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
E/G#EE9AE/G#
and steppin' out over the line Oh Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#mE/G#EC#m
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young
ABE
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
InstrumentalEEAB7sus4 - BEEAB7sus4 - BVerse 2EAB
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions
E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
ABAE/G#
and strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap
F#mE/G#EE9
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back Oh
AE/G#F#m
Will you walk with me out on the wire `Cause baby I'm just
E/G#EC#m
a scared and lonely rider But I gotta find out how it feels
ABE
I want to know if love is wild babe I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Gsus4GAsus4AAsus4ACsus4CCsus4C
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard
Dsus4DDsus4DGsus4GGsus4G
The amusement park rises bold and stark as Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss

Verse 3EAB7sus4B
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
EAB7sus4B
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
AE/G#
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
F#mE/G#EE9
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh
AE/G#F#m
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
E/G#EC#m
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
