[Verse]
G                               Em                  
One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends
          G                               Em     
Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
G                                     Em                     
Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth
                 D                                 C             D       
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat and


[Chorus]
G      C                  G
Hiding on the backstreets ■
C                        
Hiding on the backstreets
       G                C                 
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
G       Em     C                          G           Em G
Running ■  for our lives at night on them backstreets ■  ■


[Verse]
Em G                               Em                      
■  Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing
G                                           Em                           
Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
D                   C                              
Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring


[Chorus]
       Am                                   C        D             G 
In the deep heart of the night when you let loose of everything to go
        C                 
Running on the backstreets
G         C                 
■ Running on the backstreets
          G          C    G       Em
Terry you swore we'd live forever ■ 
C                             G       
Taking it on them backstreets together
Em G Em A
■  ■ ■  ■
                        Gbm           
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
A                                         Gbm                         
Where dancers scrape the tears up off the streets dressed down in rags
A                                   Gbm                  
Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
   Em                                            D                     
At night sometimes it seemed you could hear that whole damn city crying
            D                      
Blame it on the lies that killed us
                Em                    
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
A                                         D               
You can blame it all on me Terry it don't matter to me now
                                             Em                 
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
A                   Em                        Gbm 
But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
     B   
Whoa Whoa

[Verse]
                                             Em         
Laying here in the dark you're like an angel on my chest
             G                               Em           
Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
D                                     C  
Remember all the movies Terry we'd go see
                       Am                                 C      Dsus4
Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be   
D         Em                                    Bm          
And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest
C                               D            
Stranded in the park and forced to confess to


[Chorus]
G             C           G
Hiding on the backstreets ■
              C          
Hiding on the backstreets
               G       C          
Where we swore forever friends hey


[Verse]
G  Em     C           G             C G
