           D
You didn't know I wasn't free

         G                 D
When you fell in love with me

                        A                    D
And with all your young heart you learned to care

               D
It brought you shame and disgrace

              G               A
The world has tumbled in your face

           D               A             D
Cause they call our love a back street affair
[Verse 2]
     D
They say I wrecked your home,

         G                   D
You're a husband that's gone wrong

                           A              D
They don't know the sorrow that we had to bear

        D
For the one I'm tied to 

        G                A
was the first to prove untrue

         D               A             D
Now they call our love a back street affair
[Break] D G D D A D D D G A D A D D [Verse 3]
   D
We have each other now,

                G          D
That's all that matters anyhow

                    A              D
For the judgment of gossip's never fair

      D  
We'll just be brave and strong

         G                       A
Then someday they'll see they're wrong

       D               A             D
Let em call our love a back street affair
[Verse 4]
         D
We'll be free to love someday

             G              D
When all the talk has died away

                     A                    D
and the happiness we hoped for then we'll share

      D
We'll climb a mountain high,

         G                  A
then the world will hear us cry

         D              A             D
That our love was not a back street affair

        D              A              D      G  D
No, our love was not a back street affair
