Backstreets Bruce Springsteen
I love this bruce song
here it goes
Standard tuning
G Em D x2
[G] [Em] [D] [C] [D] [G] [C] [C] [D] [G] [D]
[C]G [Cmaj7]Em x4[C6] [C] [D11] [D7] [D11] [D7]
One soft [G]infested summer
Me and Terry be[Em]came friends
Trying in vain to[G] breathe
The fire we was born i[Em]n
Catching rides to[G] the outskirts
Tying faith [Em]between our teeth
Sleeping in that old aband[D]oned beach house
Getting waste[C]d in the heat [D]
And hi[G]ding on the backstr[C]eets
[G] Hiding on the back[C]streets
With a love so[G] hard and filled with de[C6]feat[Am7] [G] [Em]
Running for our lives at ni[C]ght on them backstreets [G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Slow danci[G]ng in the dark
On the beach at[Em] Stockton's Wing
Where desperat[G]e lovers park
We sat with the last of the[Em] Duke Street Kings
[D]Huddled in our cars
[C]Waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep[Am] heart of the night
We let lose o[C]f everything [D11]
[D7sus4]To go ru[G]nning on the[C] backstreets
[G]Running on the back[C]streets
Terry you swore we'[G]d live forever [C] [Am] [G] [Em]
[C]Taking it on them backstreets together [G] [Em]

[G] [Em]
[A]Endless juke joints and Valentino dra[F#m]g
Where dance[A]rs scraped the tears
Up off the streets[F#m] dressed down in rags
Running[A] into the darkness
Some hurt bad so[F#m]me really dying
At nigh[E]t sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn ci[D]ty crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
[E]Blame it on the truth that ran us down
[A]You can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matt[D]er to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing l[E]eft to say
But I hated [A]him
And I hated[E] you when you went away
[F#m]G Em[B] x[D]3 [G]G [D7]C D[G]7[D7] [G] [D7]
Well laying[G] here in the dark
You're like an angel on m[Em]y chest
Just another [G]tramp of hearts
Crying tears of[Em] faithlessness
Remembe[D]r all the movies, Terry
[C]We'd go see
Trying to learn t[Am]o walk like the heroes
We though[C]t we had to be [D11]
Well afte[Em]r all this time
To find we're just like[Bm] all the rest
Stranded in [C]the park
And forced to confess [D7sus4]
To h[G]iding on the b[C]ackstreets
[G]Hiding on the [C]backstreets
Where we swore forev[G]er friends [C] [G] [Em]
On the backstreets un[C]til the end [G]
[C] [G] [C] G C x3
Hiding on the backstreet hiding on the backstreets x3
Hiding on the Backstre[Am]ets Hiding on the backstreets[F]
Its alright[D] [C]
We'll go hidin[C]g on the backstreets tonight
G C x4
Hiding on the backstreets x4
