Backstreets

Shannon And The Clams


Tom: Am

Am

[Verse 1]
Am
 I am a run away, make-up upon my face
C
 I find a place to hide inside a strangers mind
Dm
 I play a crying game, I do not speak my name
Am
 When you open your chest, this is what she said

Am
 I am a run away, a road to any place
C
 I show you the inside, worn like a tiger's eye
Dm
 I can not escape this, my song will never rest
G
 When you open your chest, this is what she said

[Chorus]
      C                                       Am
We're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
    Dm                                      G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run
          C                                       Am
Oh, we're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
    Dm                                      G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run

[Verse 2]
Am
 I am a run away, make-up upon my face
C
 I find a place to hide inside a strangers mind
Dm
 I can not escape this, my song will never rest
G
 When you open your chest, this is what she said

[Chorus]
      C                                       Am
We're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
    Dm                                      G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run
          C                                       Am
Oh, we're taking the backstreets where no one can find us
    Dm                                      G
Oh, where do we go when there's no place to run
