     D                                                              G           A At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
    G                 F#m Sprung from cages on highway 9
         Em                               F#m                    D            D7 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line... OOOH!
 G                        F#m Baby this town rips the bones from your back
         Em                F#m It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
          D                   Bm We gotta get out while we're young

              D Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
               G                                  A I want to guard your dreams and visions
        D Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
       G                            A and strap your hands 'cross my engines
    G              F#m Together we could break this trap
       Em                   F#m                 D            D7 We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back... OOOH!
           G                                 F#m Will you walk with me out on the wire
        Em                                               F#m 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
        D                       Bm But I gotta know how it feels
           G I want to know if love is wild
              A                          D   G   A     D   G  A Babe I want to know if love is real
 


    C                                  F Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
         G Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
                A# And the boys try to look so hard
       C The amusement park rises bold and stark
             F Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
         G I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
           A# In an everlasting kiss


        D                                       G                A The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
          D Everybody's out on the run tonight
             G                               A but there's no place left to hide
    G                           F#m Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
      Em                    F#m            D      D7 I'll love you with all the madness in my soul... OOOH!
  G             F#m Someday girl I don't know when
             Em we're gonna get to that place
          F#m           D Where we really want to go
                       Bm and we'll walk in the sun
                 G But till then tramps like us
 A                     D     G    baby we were born to run
 A                     D     G    baby we were born to run
 A        D Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
