Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5"Born To Run" Performed by Bruce Springsteen Taken from the album "Born To Run" First released in 1975 E A Bsus B x2 E A Bsus In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream. E A B At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines. A E/G# F#m Sprung from cages on Highway 9, chrome wheeled, fuel injected, E/G# E and steppin' out over the line. D/E A E/G# Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back. F#m E/G# It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. E C#m We gotta get out while we're young. A B E A Bsus B 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run. E A Bsus B E Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend, A Bsus I wanna guard your dreams and visions. E Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and A Bsus strap your hands 'cross my engines. A E/G# Together we could break this trap. F#m E/G# E We'll run till we drop, and, baby we'll never go back. D/E A E/G# Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? F#m E/G# 'Cause, baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider, E C#m A but I gotta know how it feels, I want to know if love is wild, babe, B I want to know if love is real. E A Bsus B Oh, come and show me. E A Bsus B E A B x2 C#m B E Bm7 Dsus D Dsus D Gsus G Gsus G Beyond the Palace hemipowered drones scream down the boulevard.

E A Bsus B Ev'rybody's on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide. A E/G# Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness, F#m E/G# E I'll love you with all the madness in my soul. D/E A E/G# F#m Oh, some day, girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place E/G# E C#m where we really wanna go, and we'll walk in the sun. A B E C#m But till then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run! A B E C#m Ah, honey, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run! A B E Come on, Wendy. Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run!
