    Verse 1
    One 
    soft 
    infested 
    summer, 

    me 
    and 
    Terry 
    became 
    friends 

    Trying 
    in 
    vain 
    to 
    breathe 
    the 
    fire 
    we 
    was 

    born 
    in 

    Catching 
    rides 
    to 
    the 
    outskirts, 

    tying 
    faith 
    between 
    our 
    teeth 

    Sleeping 
    in 
    that 
    old 
    abandoned 
    beach 
    house, 

    getting 
    wasted 
    in 
    the 
    heat 

    And 
    Chorus 1
    hiding 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    Hiding 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    With 
    a 
    love 
    so 
    hard 
    and 
    filled 
    with 

    de
    feat 

    Running 
    for 
    our 
    lives 
    at 
    night 
    on 
    them 

    back
    streets 

    Verse 2
    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 

    they 
    set 
    us 
    loose 
    of 
    everything 

    Chorus 2
    To 
    go 
    running 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    Running 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    Terry, 
    you 
    swore 
    we'd 
    live 
    forever 


    Taking 
    it 
    on 
    them 
    backstreets 
    to
    gether 


    Bridge 1
    Endless 
    juke 
    joints 
    and 
    Valentino 
    drag 

    Where 
    dancers 
    scraped 
    the 
    tears 
    up 
    off 
    the 

    street, 
    dressed 
    down 
    in 
    rags 

    Running 
    into 
    the 
    darkness, 
    some 
    hurt 
    bad, 

    some 
    really 
    dying 

    At 
    night 
    sometimes 
    it 
    seemed 
    you 
    could 
    hear 

    the 
    whole 
    damn 
    city 
    crying 

    Blame 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    lies 
    that 
    killed 
    us, 

    blame 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    truth 
    that 
    ran 
    us 
    down 

    You 
    can 
    blame 
    it 
    all 
    on 
    me, 
    Terry, 

    it 
    don't 
    matter 
    to 
    me 
    now 

    When 
    the 
    breakdown 
    hit 
    at 
    midnight, 

    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    to 
    say 

    But 
    I 
    hated 
    him, 

    and 
    I 
    hated 
    you 
    when 
    you 
    went 
    a
    way 

    Wo-oh! 

    Solo 1


    Verse 3
    Laying 
    here 
    in 
    the 
    dark, 

    you're 
    like 
    an 
    angel 
    on 
    my 
    chest 

    Just 
    a
    nother 
    tramp 
    of 
    hearts 

    crying 
    tears 
    of 
    faithlessness 

    Re
    member 
    Remember 
    all 
    the 
    movies, 

    Terry, 
    we'd 
    go 
    see 

    Trying 
    to 
    learn 
    to 
    walk 
    like 
    the 
    heroes 

    we 
    thought 
    we 
    had 
    to 
    be 

    And 
    after 
    all 
    this 
    time, 

    to 
    find 
    we're 
    just 
    like 
    all 
    the 
    rest 

    Stranded 
    in 
    the 
    park 
    and 
    forced 
    to 
    con
    fess 

    Chorus 3
    To 
    hiding 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    Hiding 
    on 
    the 
    backstreets 

    Where 
    we 
    swore 
    for
    ever 
    friends 

    On 
    the 
    backstreets 
    until 
    the 
    end

      Best Tuning App Ever

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
