Intro
G#m E B
[verse 1]
G#m
Don't tell mama,
E
Don't tell your daddy,
B
Baby, let's just go.
G#m E
The only escaping, the only salvation
B
Is a long dark road
G#m
You're bitin' your lip girl,
E
You're tight as a fist girl,
B
We'll be all right
G#m
Once we're over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
G#m E B
[Verse 2]
G#m
Don't trust the teachers,
E
Don't trust the preachers
B
That the world is round
G#m
We'll find out for ourselves,
E B
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town
G#m
I got some twenties and tens
E B
In a Maxwell House can with the lid on tight,
G#m
To get us over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Chorus]
F#
Oh,
E B
There's a billion little stars,
F#
Oh,
E B
Let's pick out which one is ours
F#
Oh,
E B
Girl, I need you by my side,
G#m
To get over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Verse 3]
G#m
Baby you'd better
E
Get jeans and a sweater
B
If the air gets cold
G#m
'Cause we been dreaming bout breaking out,
E B
Running away, since seven years old
E
And it won't be as hard
G#m
Once the fence in our yard
B
Disappears out of sight
G#m
When we're over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[chorus]
F#
Oh,
E B
There's a billion little stars,
F#
Oh,
E B
Let's pick out which one is ours
F#
Oh,
E B
Girl, I need you by my side,
G#m
To get over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
G#m
To get over the hot sand,
E B
Out of the badlands, into the night.
