Born To Run
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C F G C F G
[VERSE 1:]
C
In the day we sweat it out on the streets
F G
Of a runaway American dream
C
At night we ride through mansions of glory
F G
In suicide machines
[VERSE 2:]
F Am
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Dm7 Am C
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and stepping out over the line
Bb F Am
Ohh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
Dm7 Am
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
C Am
We gotta get out while we're young
F G C F G
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run, oh
[VERSE 3:]
C
Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend
F G
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
C
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
F G
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
[VERSE 4:]
F Am
Together we could break this trap
Dm7 Am C
We'll run till we drop, baby, we'll never go back
Bb F Am
Ohh, will you walk with me out on the wild
Dm7 Am
'Cause baby, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider
C Am
But I gotta know how it feels
F G C
I wanna know if love is wild, babe, I wanna know if love is real
F G
Oh oh, can you show me
[INTERLUDE:] C F G Am G C Gm
[BRIDGE:]
Bb
Beyond the Palace, hemi powered drones
Eb
Scream down the boulevard
F
Girls comb there hair in rear view mirrors
Ab
And the boys try to look so hard
Bb
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Eb
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
F Ab
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight
Bb
In an everlasting kiss
[VERSE 5:]
C
The highway's jammed with broken heroes
F G
On a last chance power drive
C
And everybody's out on the run tonight
F G
'Cause there's no place left to hide
[VERSE 6:]
F Am
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
Dm7 Am C
I love you with all the madness in my soul
Bb F Am
Ohh, someday girl, I don't know when
Dm7 Am C
We're gonna get to that place where we really wanna go
Am
And we'll walk in the sun
F G C Am7
'Til then, tramps like us, baby we were born to run
F G C Am7
Ah honey, tramps like us, baby we were born to run, ah come on now, Wendy
F G C
Tramps like us, baby we were born to run
[OUTRO:] (## fade to end ##)

Oh oh oh, ohh whoa whoa, whoa oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, ohh whoa whoa, whoa oh oh oh oh, yeah

F G C

Slow down and let me show you the way"
[VERSE 8:]

Well, the sand was warm underneath where they lay

A cool breeze made the waves dance and play

A band played in the hall, they were loud, it was small

But who listened anyway
