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