Backstreet Loner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I lit another ciga[F]rette
She did a little pirouette
[Dm]No frien[Am]d of mine - a dollar's fine
[F]A cruel world - when you cross this line

[Verse 2]
[Dm]The masquerade is over[Bb]
The mask - it fades [G]away[Dm]
Like a [Bb]backstreet [Dm]loner
[Am]No need to be afra[F]id

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][F][Am][F]

[Verse 3]
In [Am]johnny nofinger's bar
I travelled so far
[F]I've been to all those places

[Verse 4]
Just [Am]a shot on the bar
A cheap cigar
[F]And all the dead- eyed faces

[Verse 5]
[Em]Hold down the [C]fever[G][Dm]
[D]Don[Em]'t you cross the lin[F]e[C][Dm]
[Em]Hold down the [C]fever[G][Dm]
[D]Stop [Em]yourself in time[F]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F]

[Verse 6]
Never [Am]step on the ride
Just take my advice
[F]I've suffered all the seasons

[Verse 7]
Feel it [Am]coming again
I paid the [F]price

[Interlude 3]
There's no rhyme - no reason
[F][Em]
[C][G][Dm][D][Em][F][C][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Hold down the fever,
[C]...[G][Dm][D][Em][F]

[Verse 9]
[Dm]When masquerades [Bb]are over
The show will [Am]fade [Gm]away[F][Dm]
You'll be a [C]back[Bb]street loner
[Am]You better be af[G]ra[F]id

[Interlude 4]
