[A] [E] .
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of [A] a runaway [B] American dream.
[E] At night we rack the mansions of glory in [A] suicide .
[E] machines.
[A] Sprung from cages on [C#m] highway 9, pulling [F#] wheel fuel injected and [C#m] stepping out over the [E] line.
.
[Bm] [A] Baby this town rips [C#m] the bones from your back, [F#] it's a death trap, it's [C#m] a suicide rap.
We [E] gotta get out while we're [C#m] young, cause [A] tramps like [E] us, baby we were born to run.
[A] .
[E] It's a life.
.
[A] .
[E] [B] [E] Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend, I [A] wanna guard your dreams and [E] visions.
Just wrap your legs around these velvet rims and [A] strap your hands [B] across my engines.
[A] Together we [C#m] could break this trap, [F#m] we'll run till we drop, [C#m] baby we'll never [E] go [Am] back.
[D] Oh, [A] you walk with me out on [C#m] the wire, cause [F#] baby I'm just a scared [C#m] and lonely rider, [E] but I gotta know how it [C#m] feels.
I wanna [A] know if love is wild, [E] baby I wanna know if it's real.
I'm gonna leave [A] my knees, .
[E] broken shoulders, and [A] my [E] [B] back to the [E] floor.
.

[B] [E] .
[Bm] [G] Beyond [D] the palace, heavy powered drones [G] scream down the boulevard.
[A] Girls comb their hairs and rear a few mirrors and the [C] forest shadows look so hard.
The [D] amusement park ride is bold and stark, [G] kids are huddled on the beach in the mist.
I [A] wanna die with you and me on the street tonight, [C] in an everlasting kiss.

[E] The highway's jammed with broken heroes, [A] our last chance to power a [B] tribe.
[E].
Everybody's out on the night bus, [A] there's no place left [E] to [B] hide.
[A].
Together Wendy [C#m] we can live with the sadness, [F#].
I'll love you with all [C#m] the madness in [E] my soul.
[Em] Oh, [A] someday girl I [C#m] don't know when we're [F#] gonna get to that place [C#m] where we really wanna [E] go and we'll walk in the [C#m] sun.
But to win [A] champs like [E] us, baby we were born to run.
I [A] had champs like [E] us, baby we were born to run.
[C#m] Come on [A] Wendy, champs like us, [E] baby we were born to run.
