One soft infested summer me and 
  Em
Terry became friends
            G                      
Trying in vain to breathe the fire 
     Em
we was born in
          G                    
Catching rides to the outskirts 
        Em
tying faith between our teeth
                  D                
Sleeping in that old abandoned 
                C              D
beach house getting wasted in the 
heat
    G          C             
And hiding on the backstreets, 
  G          C
hiding on the backstreets
       G                 Am7      
With a love so hard and filled 
    G    Em
with defeat
                 C               
Running for our lives at night on

   backstreets

     G                         
Slow dancing in the dark on the 
 Em
beach at Stockton's Wing
 G                                 
Where desperate lovers park we sat 
         Em
with the last of the Duke Street 
Kings
  D                  C
Huddled in our cars waiting for the 
bells that ring
        Am                       
In the deep heart of the night we 
        C                  D
could loose from everything
       G         C                
to go running on the backstreets, 
G          C
running on the backstreets
          G        C         Am   
Terry you swore we'd live forever

together
A                       F#m
Endless juke joints and Valentino 
drag
      A                            
Where dancers scraped the tears up 
        F#m
off the streets dressed down in rags
   A                               
Running into the darkness some hurt
 F#m
 bad some really dying
   E                            
At night sometimes it seemed you 
                D
could hear the whole damn city 
crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us 
                E
blame it on the truth that ran us 
down
        A                          
You can blame it all on me Terry it
       D
 don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight 
          E
there was nothing left to say
      A               E           
But I hated him and I hated you 
            F#m  | B | D G D7 G |
when you went away
