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