Intro: DAD
D You didn't know I wasn't free GD When you fell in love with me AD And with all your young heart you learned to care D It brought you shame and disgrace GA The world has tumbled in your face AD Cause they call our love a back street affair
D They say I wrecked your home, GD You're a husband that's gone wrong AD They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear D For the one I'm tied to GA was the first to prove untrue AD Now they call our love a back street affair
Break: DGDAD DGDAD
D We have each other now, GD That's all that matters anyhow AD For the judgment of gossip's never fair D We'll just be brave and strong GA Then someday they'll see they're wrong DAD Let em call our love a back street affair
D We'll be free to love someday GD When all the talk has died away AD and the happiness we hoped for then we'll share D We'll climb a mountain high, GA then the world will hear us cry DAD That our love was not a back street affair DADGD No, our love was not a back street affair
