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