Verse 1
G

One soft infested summer,
Em

me and Terry became friends
G

Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was
Em

born in
G

Catching rides to the outskirts,
Em

tying faith between our teeth
D

Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house,
C

getting wasted in the heat
D
And
Chorus 1
G
C

hiding on the backstreets
G
C

Hiding on the backstreets

With a love so hard and filled with

Running for our lives at night on them

backstreets
Verse 2
G

Slow dancing in the dark
Em

on the beach at Stockton's Wing
G

Where desperate lovers park,
Em

we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
D

Huddled in our cars,
C

waiting for the bells that ring
Am

In the deep heart of the night
C
D

they set us loose of everything
Chorus 2

To go running on the backstreets

F#m

Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
A

Where dancers scraped the tears up off the
F#m

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

Blame it on the lies that killed us,
E

blame it on the truth that ran us down
A

You can blame it all on me, Terry,
D

it don't matter to me now

When the breakdown hit at midnight,
E

there was nothing to say
A

But I hated him,
E
F#m

and I hated you when you went a way
B
D

Wo-oh!

Verse 3
G

Laying here in the dark,
Em

you're like an angel on my chest
G

Just another tramp of hearts
Em

crying tears of faithlessness
D

Remember Remember all the movies,
C

Terry, we'd go see
Am

Trying to learn to walk like the heroes
C
D

we thought we had to be
Em

And after all this time,
Bm

to find we're just like all the rest
C
D

Stranded in the park and forced to confess

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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

    Tuliketsune

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
