BORN TO RUN Bruce Springsteen
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the [E]day we sweat it out on the streets of a [A]runaway American d[B]ream
At [E]night we ride through mansions of glory in [A]suicide [B]machines
[A]Sprung from cages on [E/G#]Highway 9
Chrome [F#m]wheels, fuel injected and [E/G#]steppin' out over the [E]line [E9] Oh
[A]Baby, this town rips the [E/G#]bones from your back
It's a [F#m]death trap, it's a [E/G#]suicide rap
We gotta [E]get out while we're [C#m]young
'Cause [A]tramps like us, [B]baby we were born to [E]run
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run til we drop, and 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, I want to know if love is real.
(Sax solo -- over E E A B pattern x2 (i.e. 8 bars))
(Chords: C#m B E Bm7)
Be[Dsus4]yond the [D]Palace [Dsus4]hemi-powered d[D]rones [Gsus4]scream down the [G]boulev[Gsus4]ard[G]
Girls [Asus4]comb their [A]hair in [Asus4]rear view [A]mirrors and the [Csus4]boys try to [C]look so [Csus4]hard[C]
The a[Dsus4]musement p[D]ark rises [Dsus4]bold and stark[D] as kids are [Gsus4]huddled on the [G]beach
in a [Gsus4]mist[G]
I wanna [Asus4]die with you, [A]Wendy, on the [Asus4]streets to[A]night in an [Csus4]everla[C]sting [Csus4]kiss[C]
Fsus4 F (x3) C C
Fsus4 F (x2) F#sus4 F# (x2) then N.C. (guitar run down 1 octave)
(The guitar run can be played by holding the B notes at fret 12 on the B
string and fret 14 on the A string and just sliding them down the strings.
Beware: the run ends C C C C B, not C# C B.)
Well, the 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 could live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, some day, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place that we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun
But 'till then, [A]tramps like us, [B]baby we were born to [E]run[C#m]
Ah, honey, [A]tramps like us, [B]baby we were born to [E]run[C#m]
Come on, Wendy, [A]tramps like us, [B]baby we were born to [E]run
(Playout on same structure as intro, E A B x4)
