The remainder hardly needs tabbing.
Hey Wendy, [E]let me in, I wanna be your friend,
I wanna guard[A] your dreams and visions. [B]
Just w[E]rap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
And strap[A] your hands across my engines. [B]
And Toge[A]ther we could break this tra[Amaj7]p,
We'll r[F#m]un till we drop and, baby we'[Amaj7]ll never go back. [E] [B4]
Oh will you walk wit[A]h me out on the wire? [Amaj7]
Girl, I'm jus[F#m]t a scared and a lonely rid[Amaj7]er,
But I go[C]tta know how it feels,
I want[C#m7] to know if love is wild, baby,
I wa[A]nt to know if love is[B4] real.
(CHORUS)
(sorry for the instrumental : I'll see to it one day)
The chords used in this ballad section are these ones :
Em9 : 024000
G4 : 320013
A4 : X02240
C4 : X35563
Be[Em]yond t[Em9]he palace hemi[Em]-powered [Em9]drones scream down [G4]the bo[G]uleva[G4]rd [G]
Gi[A4]rls comb [A]their hair[A4] in rear-vie[A]w mirrors
and the boys [C4]try to [C]look so h[C4]ard [C]
The amus[Em]ement [Em9]park rises bol[Em]d and sta[Em9]rk
Kid[G4]s are [G]huddl[G4]ed on th[G]e beach in a mist
I wanna die w[A4]ith you W[A]endy on th[A4]e street ton[A]ight
In an eve[C4]rlastin[C]g kiss [C4] [C]
(Here there is an instrumental that is not fully played with a guitar but sounds about like this)

For the last verse the lead guitar plays the main riff
Well, The highwa[E]ys jammed with broken heroes
On a last [A]chance power drive [B]
W[E]ell everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no pl[A]ace left to hide [B]
Toge[A]ther, Wendy, we can live with the [Amaj7]sadness
I'll[F#m] love you with all the madne[Amaj7]ss in my soul [E] [B4]
Oh someda[A]y girl, I don't know when, we[Amaj7]'re gonna get to that place [F#m]
Where we r[Amaj7]eally wanna go [E]
And we'll wal[C#m7]k in the sun
Till then tramp[A]s like us
[B4]Baby we were born to run.[E]
