[Verse 1]

        E                                      A                B
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     D/E
and steppin' out over the line, whoah!
A                       E/G#
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
       F#m                E/G#                  E                   
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're

young
       A               B                    E
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams 
    B
and visions
     E                                            A              
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands 
            B
across my engines

  A               E/G#                   F#m               E/G#    
Together we could break this trap, we'll run till we drop, baby 

            E     D/E
we'll never go back, whoah!
         A                       E/G#         F#m                   
Will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause baby I'm just a scared
     E/G#
 and lonely rider
      E                     C#m
But I gotta find out how it feels
          A                             B                       E
I want to know if love is wild, babe, I want to know if love is real

Together Wendy we can live with the sadness

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul, whoah!

Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
          E/G#           E                       C#m
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
