Verse:
G MajorG                 D7D7     G MajorG    G7G7       C majorC                 G MajorG
You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
                        D7D7                   G MajorG
And with all your young heart you learned to care
                     D7D7     G MajorG     G7G7            C majorC               G MajorG
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your face
                           D7D7          G MajorG
Cause they call our love a back street affair

             D7D7         G MajorG    G7G7    C majorC                   G MajorG
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
                           D7D7                G MajorG
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
                 D7D7       G MajorG   G7G7      C majorC             G MajorG
For the one that I'm tied to  was the first to be untrue
                         D7D7            G MajorG
Yes they call our love a back street affair

             D7D7    G MajorG    G7G7             C majorC          G MajorG
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
                   D7D7             G MajorG
Oh the judgment of gossip's never fair
                D7D7      G MajorG          G7G7   C majorC                       G MajorG
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
                         D7D7            G MajorG
Let them call our love a back street affair

                  D7D7       G MajorG    G7G7          C majorC            G MajorG
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
                        D7D7                   G MajorG
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
             D7D7       G MajorG     G7G7      C majorC                      G MajorG
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
                       D7D7            G MajorG
That our love is not a back street affair
