[Verse 1]
One [G]soft infested summer,
me and [Em]Terry became friends
Trying in [G]vain to breathe the fire we was
[Em]born in
Catching [G]rides to the outskirts,
tying [Em]faith between our teeth
Sleeping in that [D]old abandoned beach house,
getting [C]wasted in the heat
[D]And

[Chorus 1]
[G]hiding on [C]the backstreets
[G]Hiding on [C]the backstreets
With a [G]love so hard and [C]filled with
de[G]feat[D][Em]
Running for our [C]lives at night on them
[G]back[Em]streets[G][Em]

[Verse 2]
Slow [G]dancing in the dark
on [Em]the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where [G]desperate lovers park,
we sat with the [Em]last of the Duke Street Kings
[D]Huddled in our cars,
[C]waiting for the bells that ring
In the [Am]deep heart of the night
they set us [C]loose of [D]everything

[Chorus 2]
To [G]go running [C]on the backstreets
[G]Running on [C]the backstreets
Terry, you [G]swore we'd [C]live forever
[G][D][Em]
[C]Taking it on them backstreets to[G]gether[Em]
[G][Em][E]

[Bridge 1]
[A]Endless juke joints and Val[F#m]entino drag
Where [A]dancers scraped the tears up off the
[F#m]street, dressed down in rags
[A]Running into the darkness, some hurt [F#m]bad,
some really dying
At [E]night sometimes it seemed you could hear
the [D]whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us,
blame it on the [E]truth that ran us down
You can [A]blame it all on me, Terry,
it don't [D]matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight,
there was [E]nothing to say
But I [A]hated him,
and I [E]hated you when you went [F#m]a way
[B]Wo-oh![D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Laying here in the dark,
you're like an [Em]angel on my chest
Just a[G]nother tramp of hearts
crying [Em]tears of faithlessness
Re[D]member Remember all the movies,
Terry, [C]we'd go see
Trying to [Am]learn to walk like the heroes
we [C]thought we had to [D]be
And [Em]after all this time,
to find we're [Bm]just like all the rest
[C]Stranded in the park and forced to con[D]fess

[Chorus 3]
[G]To hiding [C]on the backstreets
[G]Hiding on [C]the backstreets
Where we [G]swore for[C]ever [G]friends[D][Em]
On the [C]backstreets until the [G]end

[Bridge 2]
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the [Am]backstreets
Hiding on the [F]backstreets
Was all [D]right, we're all

[Outro 1]
Hiding on the backstreets tonight
[G]Hiding on the bac[C]kstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [C]backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [C]backstreets
Hiding on the [G]backstreets
Hiding on the [C]backstreets
