Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets: chords

     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,
         C             D
getting wasted in the heat, yeh

Chorus:
G      C
Hiding on the backstreets
G      C
Hiding on the backstreets
        G                Am            G  Em
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
                 C                            G
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets

Slow dancing in the dark
On the beach at Stockton's Wing
Where desperate lovers park
We sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
Huddled in our cars
Waiting for the bells that ring
In the deep heart of the night
We let loose of everything
To go

Chorus:
Running on the backstreets
Running on the backstreets
Terry you swore we'd live forever
Taking it on them backstreets together
Yeah

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

Laying here in the dark
You're like an angel on my chest
Just another tramp of hearts
Crying tears of faithlessness
Remember all the movies, Terry
We'd go see
Trying to learn to walk like the heroes
We thought we had to be
Well after all this time
To find we're just like all the rest
Stranded in the park
And forced to confess
To

Chorus:
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Where we swore forever friends
On the backstreets until the end

               G
Hiding on the backstreets
              Em
Hiding on the backstreets
              G
Hiding on the backstreets
              Em
Hiding on the backstreets
              C6
Hiding on the backstreets
              Am
Hiding on the backstreets

               G
Hiding on the backstreets
               C
Hiding on the backstreets
               G
Hiding on the backstreets
               C
Hiding on the backstreets

Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
It's all right
We'll go hiding on the backstreets tonight
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
Oh, hey, whoa, oh-oh
