BORN TO RUN

Bruce Springsteen

[E][E][A][B][E][E][A][B]
In the [E] day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a [A] runaway American [B] dream
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 [E][A][B]

Wendy, [E] let me in, I wanna be your friend,
I wanna [A] guard your dreams and [B] visions
Just [E] wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
And [A] strap your hands across my [B] engines
[A] Together we could [E/G#] break this trap
We'll [F#m] run till we drop,
And [E/G#] baby we'll never go [E] back
[E9] Oh, will you [A] walk with me out on the [E/G#] wire?
'Cause [F#m] baby, I'm just a scared and [E/G#] lonely rider
But I [E] gotta know how it [C#m] feels
I want to [A] know if love is wild, babe,
I [B] want to know if love is [E] real. [E][A][B][E][E][A][B]

[Dsus4] Beyond the [D] Palace hemi-[Dsus4]-powered [D]drones
[Gsus4 Scream down the [G] boule-[Gsus4]-vard [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 [Dsus4] amusement [D] park rises [Dsus4 bold and [D] stark
As kids are [Gsus4] huddled on the [G] beach in the [Gsus4] mist [G]
I wanna [Asus4] die with you, [A] Wendy, on the [Asus4] streets [A] tonight
In an [Csus4] ever-[C]-lasting [Csus4] kiss [C]

[Fsus4][F][Fsus4][F][Fsus4][F][C][C][Fsus4][F][Fsus4][F] [F#sus4][F#][F#sus4][F#]

Run down 1 octave, one fret at a time, ending [C][C][C][C][B]

Well, the [E] highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a [A] last chance power [B] drive
Every-[E]-body's out on the run tonight,
But there's [A] no place left to [B] hide
[A] Together, Wendy, we could [E/G#] live with the sadness
I'll [F#m] love you with all the [E/G#] madness in my [E] soul
[E9] Oh, [A] some day, girl, I [E/G#] don't know when
We're gonna [F#m] get to that place where we [E/G#] really wanna [E] go
And we'll walk in the [C#m] sun
But 'till then, [E] tramps like us, [A] baby we were born to [B] run

Ah, honey, [E] tramps like us, [A] baby we were born to [B] run
Come on, Wendy, [E] tramps like us, [A] baby we were born to [B] run
[E][E][A][B] [E][E][A][B] [E][E][A][B] [E][E][A][B]



BORN TO RUN

Bruce Springsteen (acoustic version)


In the [G] day we sweat it out on the streets of a [C] runaway American [D] dream
At [G] night we ride through mansions of glory in [C] suicide [D7] machines
[C] Sprung from cages on [G] highway 9
Chrome [Am] wheels, fuel injected and [D] steppin' out over the [C] line
[C] Baby, this town rips the [G] bones from your back
It's a [Am] death trap, it's a [D] suicide rap
I wanna [C] get out while I'm still [Am] young
'Cause [C] tramps like us, [D] baby we were born to [G] run

Well, Wendy, [G] let me in, I wanna be your friend,
I wanna [C] guard your dreams and [D] visions
Just [G] wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
[C] strap your hands across my [D7] engines
[C] Together we could [G] break this trap
We'll [Am] run til we drop, and [D] baby we'll never go [C] back
[C] Walk with me out on the [G] wire
[Am] Girl, I'm just a scared and [D] lonely rider
And I [C] gotta know how it [Am] feels
I wanna [C] know if love is wild, I [D] wanna know if love is [G] real

[D] Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones
[F] Scream down the boulevard
The girls [C] comb their hair in the rear view mirrors
And the [Am] boys try to look so [G] hard
The [D] amusement park rises bold and stark,
Kids are [F] huddled on the beach in the mist
Well, I wanna [C] die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an [Am] everlasting [D] kiss

Well, the [G] highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a [C] last chance power [D] drive
[G] Everybody's out on the run tonight,
But there ain't [C] no place left to [D7] hide
[C] Together we could [G] live with the sadness,
[Am] I'll love you with all the [D] madness in my [C] soul
[C] Someday, baby, I [G] don't know when,
We're gonna [Am] get to that place that we [D] really wanna [C] go and we'll walk in the [Am] sun. Til then, [C] tramps like us, [D] baby we were born to [G] run

[C][D][G]
