One sofGt infested summer me and TEmerry became friends
Trying in vaGin to breathe the fire we waEms born in
Catching rGides to the outskirts tying fEmaith between our teeth
Sleeping in that oDld abandoned beach house getting Cwasted in the hDeat
And Ghiding on tChe backstreets, Ghiding on tChe backstreets
With a Glove so hard and fAm7illed with deGfeat Em
C | 2x |
Running for our lives at night on them G Em

backstreets
Slow Gdancing in the dark on the Embeach at Stockton's Wing
WGhere desperate lovers park we sat with the Emlast of the Duke Street Kings
HuDddled in our cars wCaiting for the bells that ring
In the dAmeep heart of the night we could lCoose from everythinDg
to go rGunning on Cthe backstreets, Grunning on Cthe backstreets
Terry you Gswore we'Cd live forAmever G Em
C | 2x |
Taking it on them backstreets G Em

together
AEndless juke joints and F#mValentino drag
Where Adancers scraped the tears up off the F#mstreets dressed down in rags
RunAning into the darkness some hurt F#mbad some really dying
At Enight sometimes it seemed you could hear the Dwhole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us blame it on the Etruth that ran us down
You can Ablame it all on me Terry it don't Dmatter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was Enothing left to say
A E F#m | B | D G D7 G |
But I hated him and I hated you when you went away

LGaying here in the dark you're like an aEmngel on my chest
Just aGnother tramp of hearts crying Emtears of faithlessness
ReDmember all the movies, Terry,C we'd go see
Trying to Amlearn how to walk like heroes we tChought we had to Dbe
And aEmfter all this time to find we're jBmust like all the rest
SCtranded in the park and forced to cD7susonfess
To Ghiding on tChe backstreets, Ghiding on tChe backstreets
G C G Em C G | C | G |
Where we swore forever friends on the backstreets until the end
CHiding on the
| 8x |
Gbackstreets, hiding on the Cbackstreets, hiding on the
Hiding on the Ambackstreets, hiding on the Fbackstreets
It's allrD7ight we'll go hiding on the backstreets tonightG
Hiding on the Cbackstreets

Hiding on the Gbackstreets, hiding on the Cbackstreets
