Bruce Springsteen Born to Run Lyrics

BORN TO RUN - Bruce Springsteen
Intro: E, E, Asus2, Bsus 2x played with Riff
Riff 1
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Oh - Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Riff 1 + E, E, Asus2, Bsus Riff & E, E, Asus2, Bsus
Yes girl we were (Wendy)
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands ?cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back Oh
Will you walk with me out on the wire
Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, babe I want to know if love is real
Riff 1 + E, E, Asus2, Bsus
Oh can you show me
Second part of Riff 2
Huh! Da! Oh! Ah!

(Beyond)
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors
su
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
as kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
in an ever lasting kiss Huh!

One, two, three, four (Highway's)?
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
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh
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
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
Ah honey tramps like us, baby we were born to run
C#m7 E/ A Bsus E Riff 1
Come on Wendy tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Whoah????????!
Mmmmm. Oh oh, oh,oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh,oh,oh,oh,oh
MMmmmm
Whoah Oh oh Oh oh Oh
Here are some of the chords
Bsus (x 2 4 4 0 0) Asus2 (x x 2 2 0 0) C#m/G# (2 2 4 4 3 0)
