G Cadd9 D
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
G Cadd9 D
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
D Cadd9 G
and steppin' out over the line. Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Am D C Am
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young
C D G G Cadd9 D (2x)
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
G Cadd9 D
Hey Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions
G
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
Cadd9 D Cadd9 G
and strap your hands across my engines, and together we could break this trap

We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

Walk with me out on the wire? Girl, I'm just a scared and lonely rider

But I gotta know how it feels

I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real
Dm F
Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
C Am D
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors, and the boys try to look so hard
Dm F
The amusement park rises bold and stark as Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
C Am D
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss
G Cadd9 D
Well, the highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive

Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide

Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
Cadd9 D Cadd9
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Someday girl I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place

Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
