[A] [E]
[A]
[E] [B] In [E] the day we sweat it out on the streets of a [A] runaway American [E] dream.
At night we ride the mansions of glory [A] and suicide [E]
machines.
[A] Sprung from cages [C#m] on Highway 9, [F#] thrown wheel, fuel injected [C#m] and stepping out over [E] the line.
[Bm] [A] Hear the sound, [C#m] rip the bones from your back, it's [F#] a death trap, [C#m] it's a suicide rap.
We gotta [E] get out while we're young, cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
[A] [E]
It doesn't matter.
[A]
[E] [B]
[E] When you 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 and [A] strap your hands across my [B] engines.
[A] Together we could [C#m] break this trap, we'll [F#] run till we drop, [C#m] baby we'll never [E] go back.
[Bm]
I'm all [A]
[C#m] on the wire, cause [F#] baby I'm just a [C#m] scared 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 love is real.
[A] [E]
[F#m] Broken [E] Choke.
[A]
[E] Hup, [B] stop!

[B] [E]
[Bm]
[D] Behind the palace, heavy bar drums [G] scream down the boulevard.
[A] Girls comb their hairs and rear a few mirrors [C] and the boys try to look so hard.
The [D] amusement park ride is full to [G] start, kids are huddled on the beach in the mist.
I [A] wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight [C] and a never-lasting kiss.

The highway's jammed with broken [A] heroes, on a last chance flower [E] drive.
Everybody's all over us, the nice fuckers, [A] no place left [E] to [B] hide.
[A] Together Wendy we [C#m] can live with the sadness, [F#] I love you with all [C#m] the madness in [E] my soul.
[A] Oh someday girl [C#m] I don't know when [F#] we're gonna get to that [C#m] place where we really wanna [E] go and we'll walk in [C#m] the sun.
Spark to [A] it, chance, lack us, [E] baby we were born to rock.
Honey, [A] chance, lack us, [E] baby we were born to rock.
[C#m] Come on Wendy, [A] chance, lack us, [E] baby we were born to rock.
