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
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
G C
Hiding on the Backstreets
G C
Hiding on the Backstreets
C G Em
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
Em C G
Running for our lives at night on them Backstreets

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 Am C
Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
D Am D
In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything
G Em
To go running on the Backstreets
G Em
Running on the Backstreets
C G Em
We swore we'd live forever
Em C G
On the backstreets we take it together

A F#m A
Endless juke joints and Valentino drags, where dancers scraped the tears
F#m A
Up off the street dressed down in rags, running into the darkness
F#m E
Some hurt bad some really dying, at night sometimes it seemed
D
You could hear the whole damn city crying, blame it on the lies that killed us
E A
Blame it on the truth that ran us down, you can blame it all on me Terry
E D
It don't matter to me now, when the breakdown hit at midnight
E A E B
There was nothing left to say, but I hated him, and I hated you when you went away
INSTRUMENTAL: D G D7 G
D7 G D7
G 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 Am C
Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see
D Am D
Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be
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
G Em
Hiding on the Backstreets
G Em
Hiding on the Backstreets
C G Em
We swore forever friends
Em C G
On the Backstreets until the end
G C
Hiding on the Backstreets, hiding on the Backstreets (x4)
Am F
Hiding on the Backstreets, hiding on the Backstreets
D
It's alright
Hiding on the Backstreets tonight
