At the dark end of the street,
       D        A/C#      Bm
that's where we always meet
          D
Hiding in shadows,
         G     A D
where we don't belong
          G
Living in darkness,
   A        D
to hide our wrong

You and me, at the
G        A      D
dark end of the street
G       D   A
You and me

I know time is,

Gonna take it's toll
           D
We have to pay for
    A            Bm   G  A
the love that we stole
       D
It's a sin and
   G    A    D
we know it's wrong
            G
Oh, but our love,
      A         D
keeps coming on strong

Steal away, to the

Ummmmmmmm

They're gonna to find us

They're gonna to find us
G      A   D
Lord, someday

G    A   D
You and me, at the
G        A      D

daylight hours rolls around

And by chance,

we're both downtown

If we should meet,

just walk on by
    G#       A#7          D#
Oh, darling, please don't cry
