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