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 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  C6  D  E  Em  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
