The remainder hardly needs tabbing.
 
           E
Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
 
             A                                 B
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
 
      E
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
 
         A                                    B
And strap your hands across my engines.
 
        A                           Amaj7
And Together we could break this trap,
 
       F#m                          Amaj7                   E         B4
We'll run till we drop and, baby we'll never go back.
 
 
                    A                                Amaj7
Oh will you walk with me out on the wire?
 
 
             F#m                        Amaj7
Girl, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider,
 
        C
But I gotta know how it feels,
 
      C#m7
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
 
    A                    B4
I want to know if love is real.
 
(CHORUS)
 
(sorry for the instrumental : I'll see to it one day)

Girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
 
             C4     C        C4    C
and the boys try to look so hard

The amusement park rises bold and stark

For the last verse  the lead guitar plays the main riff
 
                E
Well, The highways jammed with broken heroes
 
          A                          B
On a last chance power drive
 
 E
Well  everybody's out on the run tonight
 
                 A                    B
But there's no place left to hide
 
    A                                 Amaj7
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
 
    F#m                         Amaj7              E     B4
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
 
         A                            Amaj7                            F#m
Oh someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
 
          Amaj7                E
Where we really wanna go
 
             C#m7
And we'll walk in the sun
 
               A
Till then tramps like us
 
B4                                E
Baby we were born to run.
