G C
We tried to pick the most unlikely places
G D7
Where no one's apt to know us by our name
G C
And for a while we shared the sweet affection
G D7 G
That makes it worth the sorrow and the shame
C G
Of lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
C A7 D7
Suffered hell through the day-light for the heaven darkness brings
G C G
Two hearts in the shadows tradin' passion for a pain
D7 G
Of lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
C
In the morning when I face the one who owns me
G D7
And she confronts me with some things I can't explain
G C
Then once again I hate myself for living
G D7 G
And wonder just how long my mind can stand the strain
C G
Of lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
C A7 D7
Suffered hell through the day-light for the heaven darkness brings
G C G
Two hearts in the shadows tradin' passion for a pain
D7 G
Of lovin' on back streets and livin' on main
