           D
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
                G
That hold me inside
                Bm
I want to reach out
                A
And touch the flame
             C
Where the streets have no name
                    D
I, I, I, I want to feel,
sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
            G
without a trace
                Bm
I want to take shelter
                 A
from the poison rain

Chorus:
             C
Where the streets have no name, oh ah
                           D
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building
      G
Then burning down love, burning down love
           Bm
And when I go there
            A
I go there with you...
                 D
(it’s all I can do)

The city’s a flood
And our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I’ll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name, oh ah

Chorus:
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
