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 C D
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat
G C G C
And hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets
G Am7 G Em
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
C
backstreets
G Em
Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing
G Em
Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
D C
Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring
Am C D
In the deep heart of the night we could loose from everything
G C G C
to go running on the backstreets, running on the backstreets
G C Am GEm
Terry you swore we'd live forever
C
together
A F#m
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
A F#m
Where dancers scraped the tears up off the streets dressed down in rags
A F#m
Running into the darkness some hurt bad some really dying
E D
At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
E
Blame it on the lies that killed us 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
E
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say

But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
