        G                              Em                         C                            D/9/F# 
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream 
     G                                Em                            C          D 
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines 
  C                   G/B  
Sprung from cages on Highway 9 
          C                                           D/9/F#                     C 
chrome wheeled  fuel injected and  steppin' out over the line 
                           G/B 
Baby this town rips the bones from your back  
         Am                D 
it's a death trap  it's a suicide rap. 
               C                               Am       (A2 Am A2) 
We gotta get out while I'm still young 
            C                   D/9/F#                        G 
'Cause tramps like us baby we were born to run. 
G    C    D 
               (G->C harmonica) 
    G                                         Em 
Hey Wendy  let me in  I wanna be your friend  
             C                                   D/9/F#   
I wanna guard your dreams and visions. 
        G                                        Em             
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims  
                 C                         D 
Strap your hands across my engines. 
        C                          G/B 
And Together we could break this trap  
        C                              D/9/F#                   C 
We'll run till we drop and  baby we'll never go back. 
   C                      G/B 
Walk with me out on the wire? 
         Am                             D/9/F# 
Girl  I'm just a scared and a lonely rider  
        C                            Am         (A2 Am A2) 
But I gotta know how it feels  
               C 
I want to know if love is wild  baby  
   D/9/F#                        G 
I want to know if love is real. 
G  C  D  
               (G->C harmonica)  
  Dm                                                          F 
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard 
       C             
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors 
             Am                        D/9/F# 
and the boys try to look so hard 
       Dm 
The amusement park rises bold and stark 
              F 
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist 
             C 
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight 
        Am           D/9/F# 
In a everlasting kiss 
               G                                  Em 
Well  The highways jammed with broken heroes 
         C                          D/9/F# 
On a last chance power drive 
         G                         Em 
Everybody's out on the run tonight 
                  C                     D/9/F# 
But there's no place left to hide 
   C                                  G/B 
Together  Wendy  we can live with the sadness 
C                                  D/9/F#              C 
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul 
         C              G/B                                        Am 
Someday girl  I don't know when  we're gonna get to that place 
               D/9/F#           
Where we really wanna go 
 C                              Am   (A2 Am A2) 
And we'll walk in the sun 
               C 
Till then tramps like us 
D/9/F#                                G 
Baby we were Born To Run. 
(Bruce)Oooohhh....  x3 
(Public)..........  x3   (Bruce) ooOOOooohh... 
..........   ........   ......  ....... 
(Harmonica finishes using more or less the same notes than in the intro).
