In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
E A B
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
A E/G# F#m
Sprung from cages on Highway 9, chrome wheeled, fuel injected,
E/G# E
and steppin' out over the line.
D/E A E/G#
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back.
F#m E/G#
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
E C#m
We gotta get out while we're young.
A B E A Bsus B
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run.
E A Bsus B
E
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
A Bsus
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and
A Bsus
strap your hands 'cross my engines.
A E/G#
Together we could break this trap.
F#m E/G# E
We'll run till we drop, and, baby we'll never go back.
D/E 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 A
but I gotta know how it feels, I want to know if love is wild, babe,
B
I want to know if love is real.
E A Bsus B
Oh, come and show me.

Ev'rybody's on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide.

Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness,

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.
