         E                                       A                 B7
 In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
     E                                            A            B7
 At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
    A                     G#m
 Sprung from cages out on highway 9
         F#m                        G#m                   E
 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
 A                        G#m
 Baby this town rips the bones from your back
         F#m               G#m
 It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
               E               C#m
 We gotta get out while we're young
          A             B7                    E    A   B7   E    A   B7
 'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/amy_macdonald/born_to_run_crd.html ]
        E
 Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
             A                   B7
 I want to guard your dreams and visions
        E
 Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
    A                        B7
 and strap your hands 'cross my engines
    A                     G#m
 Together Wendy we could break this trap
       F#m                  G#m                  E
 We'll run till we drop and baby we'll never go back
           A                       G#m
 Will you walk with me out on the wire
        F#m                        G#m
 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
        E                 C#m
 But I gotta know how it feels
            A
 I want to know if love is wild
         B7                      E    A   B7   E    A   B7
 Babe I want to know if love is real
 
    D                                     G
 Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
        A
 Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
          C
 And the boys try to look so hard
       D
 The amusement park rises bold and stark
           G
 Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
          A
 I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
       C
 In an everlasting kiss

      E                                        A                 B7
 The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
 E
 Everybody's out on the run tonight
             A                 B7
 but there's no place left to hide
    A                   G#m
 Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
      F#m                   G#m            E
 I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
  A             G#m
 Someday girl I don't know when
             F#m
 we're gonna get to that place
          G#m            E
 Where we really want to go
                       C#m
 and we'll walk in the sun
                 A
 But till then tramps like us
 B7                    E     A   
 baby we were born to run
 B7                    E     A   
 baby we were born to run
 B7       E
 Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
