Back Street Affair Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Yes, [G]I
thought that you were true
when [C]I fell in love with [G]you
For you told me you al[D]ways
would play square
[G]

[Verse 2]
Then I learned you had a home,
that your [C]wife had not gone [D]wrong
And our [G]love was just a
back[D]street af[G]fair

[Verse 3]
Was too [G]late to say no when
[C]I found you'd fooled me [G]so
For as time passed on I'd
learned [D]too much to [G]care
Though I knew I must atone,
but my [C]will was not my [D]own
I'm [G]paying for that [D]backstreet
af[G]fair

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
You [G]didn't count the cost,
you [C]gambled and [G]I lost
Now I must pay with [D]hours
of deep [G]despair
You still can live your life with a [C]true,
forgiving [D]wife
But I [G]can't live down our
[D]backstreet af[G]fair

[Verse 5]
The [G]love I gave so free is
[C]left to torture [G]me
Though I know it's hopeless
[D]and it isn't [G]fair
But, still I must go on while the
[C]gossips spread are [D]wrong
I'm [G]paying for that [D]backstreet af[G]fair
