[A] [E]
[A]
[E] [B] In [E] the day we sweat it out on the [A] streets of a runaway American [B] dream.
[E] At night we rack the mansions of glory [A] in suicide
[Em] machines.
[A] Sprung from cages [C#m] on Highway 9, [F#] prone, wheeled, fuel injected, [C#m] and stepping out [E] over the line.
[Bm] [A] Baby this town rips [C#m] the bones from your back, it's [F#] a death trap, it's a [C#m] suicide rap.
We [E] gotta get up while we're young, cause tramps like us, baby we were born to rock.
[A]
[E] This is for the young.
[A]
[E] When they let me in, I wanna be your friend, [A] I wanna guard your dreams [E] and visions.
Just wrap your legs around these velvet rims [A] and 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 back.
[Bm] [A]
Cause [C#m] [F#]
baby I'm [F#m] just a [C#m] scared and lonely rider, but [E] I gotta know how it [C#m] feels.
I wanna know [A] if love is wild, [E] baby I wanna know if it's real.
[A] [E] [F#] We're [E] all shenanigans, we're all shenanigans.
[A] [E] Come [F#] back, [E]
come back.

[Bm]
[D] Beyond the palace, heavy car drones [G] scream down the boulevard.
[A] Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors [C] and the boys try to look so hot.
The [D] amusement park ride is rolling start and [G] kids are huddled on the beach in the mist.
I [A] wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight [C] and I never left in case.

The highway's jammed with f***ing heroes [A] on a last chance power [E] drive.
Everybody's all on the night, but [A] there's no place left [Em] to [B] hide.
[A]
Together Wendy [C#m] we can live with the sadness, [F#] I love you with [C#m] all the madness in [E] my [Em] soul.
[A]
Hey girl I [C#m] don't know when we're [F#] gonna get to that place [C#m] where we really [E] wanna go.
And we'll walk in [C#m] the sun, but till [A] then chance like [E] us to run.
Hey [A] chance like us, [E] baby we were born to run.
[C#m] Come on Wendy, [A] chance like us, [E] baby we were born to run.
