Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets

One soft ^Ginfested summer Me and Terry be^Emcame friends Trying in vain to^G breathe The fire we was born i^Emn Catching rides to^G the outskirts

Tying faith ^Embetween our teeth Sleeping in that old aband^Doned beach house Getting waste^Cd in the heat ^D

And hi^Gding on the backstr^Ceets ^G Hiding on the back^Cstreets With a love so^G hard and filled with de^C6feat^{Am7 G Em} Running for our lives at ni^Cght on them backstreets ^{G Em G Em}

Slow danci^Gng in the dark On the beach at^Em Stockton's Wing Where desperat^Ge lovers park We sat with the last of the^Em Duke Street Kings ^DHuddled in our cars ^CWaiting for the bells that ring In the deep^Am heart of the night We let lose o^Cf everything ^D11

^D7sus4To go ru^Gnning on the^C backstreets ^GRunning on the back^Cstreets Terry you swore we'^Gd live forever ^{C Am G Em C}Taking it on them backstreets together ^{G Em}

^AEndless juke joints and Valentino dra^F#mg Where dance^Ars scraped the tears Up off the streets^F#m dressed down in rags Running^A into the darkness Some hurt bad so^F#mme really dying At nigh^Et sometimes it seemed You could hear the whole damn ci^Dty crying Blame it on the lies that killed us ^EBlame it on the truth that ran us down ^AYou can blame it all on me Terry It don't matt^Der to me now When the breakdown hit at midnight There was nothing l^Eeft to say But I hated ^Ahim And I hated^E you when you went away F#m B D G D7 G D7 G D7 G Em x3 G C D7

Well laying^G here in the dark You're like an angel on m^Emy chest Just another ^Gtramp of hearts Crying tears of^Em faithlessness Remembe^Dr all the movies, Terry ^CWe'd go see Trying to learn t^Amo walk like the heroes We though^Ct we had to be ^D11

Well afte^Emr all this time To find we're just like^Bm all the rest Stranded in ^Cthe park And forced to confess ^D7sus4 To h^Giding on the b^Cackstreets ^GHiding on the ^Cbackstreets Where we swore forev^Ger friends ^{C G Em} On the backstreets un^Ctil the end ^G

Hiding on the Backstre^Amets Hiding on the backstreets ^F Its alright ^{D C} We'll go hidin^Cg on the backstreets tonight
