G Em 4x
One [G]soft infested summer, me and [Em]Terry became friends
Trying in [G]vain to breathe the fire we was [Em]born in
Catching [G]rides to the outskirts, tying [Em]faith between our teeth
Sleeping in that [D]old abandoned beach house, getting [C]wasted in the heat, yeh
[G]Hiding on the [C]backstreets
[G]Hiding on the [C]backstreets
With a [G]love so hard and [Am]filled with de[G]feat[Em]
Running for our [C]lives at night on them back[G]streets
G Em 2x
Slow [G]dancing in the dark on the [Em]beach at Stockton's Wing
Where [G]desperate lovers park, we sat with the [Em]last of the Duke Street Kings
[D]Huddled in our cars, [C]waiting for the bells that ring
In the [Am]deep heart of the night they set us [C]loose of every[D]thing
To go [G]running on the [C]backstreets
[G]Running on the [C]backstreets
Terry, you [G]swore we'd [Am]live for[G]ever[Em]
[C]Taking it on them backstreets tog[G]ether
G Em 2x

[A]Endless juke joints and [F#m]Valentino drag
Where [A]dancers scraped the tears up off the [F#m]street, dressed down in rags
Running[A] into the darkness, some hurt [F#m]bad, some really dying
At [E]night sometimes it seemed you could hear the [D]whole damn city crying
[A]Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the [E]truth that ran us down
You can [A]blame it all on me, Terry, it don't [D]matter to me now
When the [D]breakdown hit at midnight, there was [E]nothing to say
But I [A]hated him, and I [E]hated you when you went a[F#m]way
[B7]Wa [D]ah [B7]Wa [D7]Ah[D]
G Em 4x
[G]Laying here in the dark, you're like an [Em]angel on my chest
Just a[G]nother tramp of hearts crying [Em]tears of faithlessness
Re[D]member all the movies, Terry,[C] we'd go see
Trying to [Am]learn to walk like the heroes we [C]thought we had to [D]be
And [Em]after all this time, to find we're [Bm]just like all the rest
Stranded [C]in the park and [C6]forced to con[D]fess
To [G]hiding on the [C]backstreets
[G]Hiding on the [C]backstreets
Where we [G]swore for[Am]ever [G]friends[Em]
On the [C]backstreets until the [G]end
G Em 2x
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [Em]backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [Em]backstreets . . .
Hiding on the [C6]backstreets
Hiding on the [Am]backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [C]backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [C]backstreets . . .
