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
